What this change deliberate?

Yes, this was necessary to fix a huge amount of problems and race conditions.

If not, could it be reversed?

Not without introducing a huge amount of problems affecting everybody with every installation.

If it can't be reversed, suggestions for a workaround would be appreciated.

Same as for any other package, create your own sub-directory with the permissions you need? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
