Setup doesn't set any special permissions. It sets a generic umask and
mode, and applies that throughout. ALL special permissions, scripts, and
local customisations are done via post-install scripts, which run after
setup extracts the package files, and before setup completes.

So, if the TEMP permissions need adjusting, it's the job of a
postinstall script (perhaps base-files in this case) to do that.

Cheers,
Rob
