Arne,
my understanding, is that the Installer will only create directories
and files as instructed within the pax archive of a package.
All ownership and permissions are driven by the archive contents, and
it is the responsibility of the package author to set those as
needed, while constructing the package.

Subject: File permissions of directories created by Installer.app
are wrong.
Hi,
suppose I got an package that installs per default into /
Applications/Some.app/Contents/Resources/A/B
If this directory structure does not exist, all non existing
directories are created with u=rwx g=rx o=rx. But the default
permissions for /Applications is u=rwx g=rwx o=rx. So I thought it
would take the permissions from the last existing parent directory
to create the new ones.
Is this expected behaviour or not ?
