[DRE-maint] Bug#1022817: Unnecessary recursive chown'ing?

[Utkarsh Gupta]

Source: redmine
Version: 5.0.2-2
Severity: normal

Hello,

The package update performs a recursive chown, unnecessarily
increasing the update time (for instance, the recursive chown is
unnecessarily applied to ~60 000 files in an instance).

Please TAL and fix this if possible. Thanks!
