I am all in favor of it. The only file that is otherwise unobtainable
is ignore.d.${level}/local, and that can be locally chmod'ed if the
admin feels strongly. I see no reason to make publicly available files
locally hidden.

I think in this case, world readable is OK.

If people feel strongly, a chown in postinst, after adduser, is probably
OK as well. Again, though, I don't see the need for it.
