I think I've said it before, but it bares repeating. I'm not familiar with
package systems or maintaining them. I hope to get to that in the future,
but it just hasn't come up yet.
I think the build system needs is a way to stop the -o and -g statements
when building a package, and to use them when not. Most everyone has
been installing vpopmail from source, and I have a feeling many will continue
to. We can't remove setting of permissions altogether because then people
who used source would have to manually fix permissions.
If you have a recommended way of doing this that most packages do, let me
know where to read about it. If not, I'll make one.
