Different issue, Martin, I only fixed the update-notifier task so far.
[Impact] Cosmetic. Warnings when installing packages using update-notifier downloading stuff
[Test case]
Install flashplugin-installer with apt and check that the output does not contain a message like this:
W: Can't drop privileges for downloading as file '...' couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'
[Regression Potential]
It just chowns /var/lib/update-notifier/package-data-downloads/partial/ to _apt:root, there should not be any regression.
