Package: checksecurity
Version: 2.0.7-1
Severity: minor

I've found what looks like a minor thinko with a two-character fix
here in /var/lib/dpkg/info/checksecurity.postinst: 

        mkdir /var/log/setuid
        chown root:adm /var/log/setuid || true
        chmod 640 /var/log/setuid || true

Giving a directory permissions of 640 = "drw-r-----" seems a strange
choice.  Were you perhaps thinking of "drwxr-x---" = chmod 750?

(Why does nobody ever use mkdir -m, anyway?)
