No problem, thanks for replying.

Sorry, I should have been clearer. I've tested that this combination
works just fine on current sid:

  * log_group = adm
  * dpkg-statoverride --update --add root adm 750 audit

Is there any practical value in complying to such recommendations in
a single package, as long as the underlying base OS does not? (I
suspect not, but that's a genuine question, not a rhetorical one:
I have actually no idea how these things work, nor whether we have any
Debian users who care about that.)

Yes, I can do that if needed, once we've clarified whether that's
a goal worth pursuing (otherwise there's no point).
