The directory /etc/ppp is installed by ppp such that it is being owned
by the "dip" group. All of the affected packages install it as root
owned instead. Therefore, the actual group depends on the unpack order
of packages. In future, dpkg will track file metadata and flag this as
an error.
Please agree on a suitable group with the affected packages. If the dip
group is correct, please clone this bug for each affected package.

* Change ownership of /etc/ppp to root:root from root:dip. There's no reason
/etc/ppp itself should be owned by group dip and this causes
inconsistencies in group ownership depending on package unpack order.
