I'm not understanding why this is an issue on your system. Do you have something configured that is enforcing some permission bits?

I have no idea, its a plain install of Ubuntu, nothing special. There are no security tools, permissions manager or any permissions changed or set on the file system that should do this. If this is not a general problem then I guess this issues can be closed, if I ever have to do a fresh install and encounter this again then I will flag it.

I haven't seen this mentioned before and don't have issues with the debian package on my Ubuntu server. It may be an issue though so let me know if you gather more data.
