Sometimes, I work with a wrong umask or copy the orig tarballs from a system with wrong umask, so I loose the read permission on .orig tarballs for other (perm. 600). Unfortunately, dput copies the stuff with scp including the permissions, and so dinstall fails on auric. Please add a hook to check the permissions of files and warn the user or abort in such problem cases. Gruss/Regards, Eduard.
