He needs to ship it with whatever should be the default. Only if the default has to be changed should dpkg-statoverride be used, which can be either because the local admin wants something different, or because a debconf or postinst script asked the user what default he wants and he/she chooses something an option that happens to be different from the permissions/ownership used in the package.
