Package: ucf
Version: 3.0038+nmu1
Severity: serious

Hi,

It seems that ucf, unlike dpkg, is changing the file permissions when
rewriting the configuration file. 

It also seems that there is a difference in behavour between the "use
maintainer file" option and the 3-ways merge. The former preserve the
permissions of the new file, the later is not.

That can be a security issue I believe, thus the severity

Kind regards,

Laurent Bigonville
