It is suboptimal, yes. I thought about it after I have uploaded the
fixed version. On the other hand I do not think permissions are reset
when unpacking the new files. I think this is only set at first unpack.
I'm not sure though.

I'm reopening and making it a wishlist bug to skip this part in postinst
(for permissions, not for user owner) as it could be handled in a
better way.
