Rather than opening new tasks for every package this *might* be, let's
stick it on udev for now (since it's reproducible on upgrades and
therefore not an installer issue) and I'll see what I can find out.

I'm currently suspecting an issue in the interactions between plymouth,
cryptsetup, initramfs-tools, and udev.

Title:
  Various files and directories created with odd permissions on precise

Status in “udev” source package in Precise:
  New

Bug description:
  When performing install audits of yesterday's 12.04 isos, I found the
  following odd directory on servers:

  $ ls -ld /media/
  drwsrwsrwt 3 root root 4096 Apr 13 06:06 /media/

  In 11.10 we had:
  drwxr-xr-x root root

  The desktop install does not seem to be affected:
  $ ls -ld /media/
  drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 12 02:42 /media/

  Other directories:
  drwsrwsrwt 2 root root 40 Apr 13 06:59 /run/initramfs/ (desktop and server)
  drwsrwsrwt 2 root root 4096 Apr 13 07:21 /var/lib/apt/lists/partial (server only)

  Some odd files:
  crw------T 1 root root 10, 235 Apr 13 07:18 /dev/autofs
  crw------T 1 root root 10, 234 Apr 13 07:18 /dev/btrfs-control
  crw------T 1 root root 10, 184 Apr 13 07:18 /dev/cpu/microcode
  crw-rw-rwT 1 root fuse 10, 229 Apr 13 07:18 /dev/fuse
  crw-rw-rwT 1 root root 10, 200 Apr 13 07:18 /dev/net/tun
  crw-rw---T 1 root audio 116, 1 Apr 13 07:18 /dev/snd/seq
  crw-rw---T 1 root audio 116, 33 Apr 13 07:18 /dev/snd/timer

  Server files were observed after first boot of a amd64 server install
  (non-MAAS) with encrypted home and all (non-manual) tasks installed in
  a kvm VM. All other options were defaults.

  Desktop files were observed after first boot of a amd64 livecd install
  with encrypted home and 3rd party addons selected in a kvm VM. All
  other options were defaults.
