Bug Description
[Bug]
https:/
Holger did some clean-up in 2.0.33-2 to the maintainer scripts, and removed the bit that set ownership of directories to the (dynamically created) munin users.
[Impact]
munin-async is unusable. munin-node config files that are not expected to be world-readable may be.
[Regression Potential]
changing directory ownership of an existing directory, in maintainer scripts, isn't ideal. But I've restricted it to just upgrades from 2.0.37-1.
The risk should be pretty minimal
[Test Case]
# apt install munin-async
# ls -ld /var/lib/
If it belongs to root, that's bad.
