instead of chmod, you would actually want something that checked/respected
dpkg-statoverride, rather than hard-coding the permissions. there
unfortunately is no equivalent for capabilities that i know of.
I'd say this would be something that would be best handled either by
extending dpkg-statoverride, or dpkg itself (i.e. declaritive style),
though in the meantime trying to set the capabilities and failing
gracefully in the case that it's not supported seems reasonable.

Eventually, sure, but no reason to jump the gun while $this is still
rather undefined.
