It's not a question of particular permissions. The point is that the installer shouldn't change the permissions on /, /usr, etc. at all. The docs say that, as long as I don't set the 'IFPkgFlagOverwritePermissions' flag to 'true, the installer shouldn't modify the permissions of any existing directories.

Good idea! I'll try that.
