Thank you for pointing me to Pacifist.

The files in the package do not have the same permissions as what is set in PM.
Nor do they match what is in the package source directories.

They should be:
-r--r--r--

But are
-rw-rw-r--

For the most part the files are data files that nobody should be even looking at.
Nobody needs to be able to write to them, that is for certain.

If it matters, every directory in the path as
drwxrwxr-x
