It does not run as administrator.administrators, but as
current_user.administrators *if* current_user is member of the
administrators group.

The current behaviour, that postinstall scripts are running under
current_user.current_users_primary_group, is unfortunate and, in my
opinion, is a bug, but I have not found a useful workaround for this
behaviour so far.  Anyway, I have this on my overlong todo list.
