I just went and manually modified an existing Debian install to have
the old root:root permissions for /var/log/pcp/pmcd (and all files
below that) and verified that the packaging script do set this to
pcp:pcp at the end of the install, as hoped/expected.
So, either these were somehow not run for you (?) or else something
(maybe qa? i've not observed that happen here though) has gone and
changed the permissions behind your back after install?
cheers.
