I would disagree with both of you, based on what I see in my
Applications folder. I would say that you should get the same as a
standard installation would give you (i.e. drag&drop from a dmg),
which means that the owner should be the user.
It's normal that this is the default from a drag&drop (any other
default would require hacks, since this behaviour is the default
behaviour for copying a file), but it's inconvenient if you have
multiple admin users or for an installer package (the installer
simply unpacks a xar file that contains for each file a numerical
representation of the owner/group, and there is no numerical
representation for "the user executing this installer").
Another point: when you install the developer tools, you can see that
the entire /Developer hierarchy (except for Developer/SDKs, at least
for Xcode 3.1.2 on Mac OS X 10.5) is
a) owned by root:admin
b) group readable/writable
I think that the logic is the same there.
