Package: base-files
Version: 12.4+deb12u1
Followup-For: Bug #1039973
Control: tags -1 patch
I attach a patch to fix this problem.
It uses install_local_dir() so that if /etc/staff-group-for-usr-local exists,
then /var/local will be created as root:staff 2775 same as it works for the
/usr/local directories.
This also means that the file 2775-dirs is no longer needed nor are the
commands in rules.
