Package: python-osd
Version: 0.2.6-1
Severity: serious
Tags: patch

This package fails to build from source:

 ...
 dpkg --build 'debian/install/dummy' ..
 dpkg-deb: control directory has bad permissions 2755 (must be >=0755 and <=0775)
 dpkg-deb: building package `python-osd' in `../python-osd_0.2.6-1_all.deb'.
 make: *** [binary-indep-dummy] Error 2
 pbuilder: Failed autobuilding of package
 ...

The setgid bit is inherited from the top level directory in the
tarball.

The attached patch fixes the build by removing the setgid bits.
