Title:
  base-files should explicitly set permissions since it does not use
  dh_fixperms

Status in “base-files” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “base-files” source package in Precise:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  base-files does not use dh_fixperms which means that files added to it are subject to changes in umask. Spefically:
  $ ar x /tmp/base-files_6.4ubuntu5_amd64.deb
  $ tar -ztvf ./data.tar.gz |grep '^.....w'
  ...
  -rw-rw-r-- root/root        82 2011-07-08 12:13 ./etc/dpkg/origins/debian
  -rw-rw-r-- root/root       114 2011-07-08 12:13 ./etc/dpkg/origins/ubuntu
  ...

  /etc/dpkg/origins/* should use appropriate arguments to 'install' in
  debian/rules.
