-Current policy mandates that directories in /usr/local should be owned
-by group staff and mode 2775.
-
-The purpose of this file is to tell the system, when it's removed, that we
-want directories in /usr/local to be 755 and owned by group root.
-
-At this moment, this does not work at all, but the plan is to modify
-packages during the development stage of wheezy+1, so that whenever we
-release wheezy+1 as stable, all packages that need it check that this
-file exists before using those special permissions for /usr/local.
-
-This file is created by base-files on the initial install, and it's
-also created on upgrades from any base-files release before 6.10, which
-means it will be created on upgrades from squeeze to wheezy.
