No, that shouldn't be done, the chkstat script outputs when it does a change by design.
What can be done is having the rpm ship with the same permissions as "/etc/permissions.easy". The local administrator uses "/etc/permissions.local".
But the packager has the choice of changing the permissions in the rpm, or doing that with chkstat later.
That is not quite true. If the packager sets the permissions to be SUID, rpmlint generates an error of 10000, and the package build fails. The only way to set SUID is through the permissions package.
Ah, that explains why the permissions have to be changed later :-)
I agree that the warning sh9ould stay.
