Clearly not RPM-based distros, given the reported behavior of rpm, and
that's quite a lot of them!

Debian-derived distros already handle this via dh_fixperms, so it doesn't
matter what Kerberos does by default.

That does leave Arch and Gentoo (and probably others that aren't occuring
to me at the moment), but I suspect this won't be a big deal for them.
