[Bug 897120] [NEW] apache2-suexec-custom changes permissions on suexec binary

[Nick_Hill]

Public bug reported:

I have a server where the group ID for the suexec binary is set to other
than www-data.

Whenever an update occurs, all web sites with scripting which depend on suexec break. This can happen at any time as I have automatic updates enabled. Once I receive complaints,  I must log in and re-set the GID on /var/lib/apache2/suexec
 
I consider the group ID on the suexec binary as a system setting. This system setting is wiped on update. 

Please change the package scripts so that they preserve the ownership
and permissions on suexec.

Release:	10.04
