The latter. If you installed the nut package from Hardy 8.04 and then
updated it to the package in -proposed, attempting to start upsdrvctl
would still fail with the same permission denied error. If the first
version of the package installed is the one in -proposed, then upsdrvctl
starts successfully. That's fine for going forward, but it leaves
people who have attempted to use the released package with their problem
unaddressed by the update. If that's sufficient for releasing an update,
then go ahead, I was just attempting to report the results I found.

Thanks.
