Bug Description
The installer fails to correct, or even warn about, invalid ownership or permissions on the root directory entry of the partition's filesystem(/).
Such a situation can lead to certain programs, like sudo, failing to work after installation is completed.
(This bug may also be considered a security vulnerability, but that's probably stretching it a bit far. ;))

Seems like it should be simple, and a plausible 8.04.1 candidate. (No need to warn; it could just correct the permissions.) Evan?
