To ship the setgid program, I need to have the group 'cron' on the
build system. Not a problem for me, of course, but how do I indicate
to the build daemons this requirement? Or should I just set the group
and mode of /usr/bin/crontab and the directories in the postinst? The
downside is that doing so would seem to override any local requirements
or dpkg-statoverrides that the admin might have set.
I did not find any guidance in either the Policy manual or the
Developers Reference, if I missed it, please point me in the right
direction.
Thanks,
Steve
