Subject: Bug#4428: Build of cpio fails due to bad permissions on control files.

Package: cpio
Version: 2.4.2-7

Assuming that with the new packaging standard, you're supposed to
build the package with ./debian/rules binary, cpio's build dies
because the permissions on some of the debian scripts are too
restrictive.

  ./debian/rules binary
  [...]
  dpkg-deb: maintainer script `postinst' has bad permissions 751 (must be >=0555 and <=0775)
  make: *** [binary-arch] Error 2

This can be fixed with:

  chmod o+r debian/postinst debian/prerm

Thanks
