Sorry, I've been utterly flooded with writing DWN and organizing the debian booth at linuxworld and haven't gotten to this. The short answer is it's a bug in debhelper, it's on my todo list, and you should be able to fix the permissions manually for now, by adding a chmod command after any dh_installcron lines you may have. If that doesn't work to fix it, I'm missing something.. -- see shy jo
