there are some hinting variables which you can use to specify
the defaults. i believe they're dbc_generate_include_owner and
dbc_generate_include_mode, though don't trust my memory. there should
also be something like dbc_generate_include_args for even more control.

i don't think we do...

i think a packager shouldn't have to do more than the above, and
anything else we should take care of ourselves. without thinking too
hard i'd suggest that we modify d-g-i to check dpkg-statoverride
for locally overriden permissions and not apply the permissions if
such an override exists.
