[Pkg-zsh-devel] Bug#895153: zsh-common: /usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions is owned by root:staff

[Sven Joachim]

Package: zsh-common
Version: 5.4.2-4
Severity: normal

Your package declares compliance with Debian Policy 4.1.4, claiming that
"no other changes were required", but this is not actually true.
The upgrading-checklist states

,----
| 9.1.2
|    If "/etc/staff-group-for-usr-local" does not exist, "/usr/local"
|    and all subdirectories created by packages should have permissions
|    0755 and be owned by "root:root".  If the file exists, the old
|    permissions of 2775 and ownership of root:staff should remain.
`----

The zsh-common postinst script does not respect this policy though,
using root:staff unconditionally.

,----
| mkdir -m2775 -p /usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions && chown root:staff \
|                /usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions || true
