It may or may not indicate a packaging issue. Did you "Re-run as list
(or root) with -f flag to fix"? If not, do it. If you did it and the
issue isn't fixed, are the various /var/lib/mailman/* paths actual
directories or symlinks. If they are symlinks, you can ignore this as
the relevant user/group/mode is that of the target, not the symlink
itself, and check_perms can't actually modify the symlink.
