Bug Description

$ ls -l /etc/apache2/mods-available/suexec.load
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 64 2011-09-06 13:38 /etc/apache2/mods-available/suexec.load

While this is not security-relevant, it is also not desirable. What happened is that the default umask changed fro 0002 to 0022 in 11.10 (https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/umask-to-0002). While debian/rules does use dh_fixperms, it is using 'dh_fixperms -Xsuexec' which excludes /etc/apache2/mods-available/suexec.load. The package should use:
        dh_fixperms -Xsuexec
        chmod go-wx debian/apache2.2-common/etc/apache2/mods-available/suexec.load
