This bug has been actually fixed 1.5 years ago:
base-files (3.1.0ubuntu2) hoary; urgency=low
* debian/postinst: Do not install /usr/local and subdirectories with "staff"
group writeability. This group is essentially root-equivalent, but there
are cases where somebody can become any user but root (like NFS).
* debian/rules: Do not install /home as root:staff, it makes no sense.
* debian/2775-dirs: Remove "home".
* Ubuntu bug #7449
