Bug Description

W: pollen: recursive-privilege-change "chown -R" [postinst:26]

The pollen.postinst concludes with:

  chown -R $PKG:root $DIR

which generates this lintian warning. $DIR in this case resolves to the static path /etc/pollen.

The path should be constructed and chowned using in a more standards-compliant way.
