Subject: w3m-img: abuse of dpkg-statoverride

Date: Mon, 28 Dec 2009 11:33:38 +0100

Package: w3m-img
Version: 0.5.2-2.1
Severity: normal

Your package uses dpkg-statoverride to set the permissions of
/usr/lib/w3m/w3mimgdisplay.  Worse, the postinst unconditionally sets
the statoverride, giving the admin no way to permanently override the
permissions of the file.

Please ship the file with correct permissions in the package and stop
using dpkg-statoverride.
