smgl-fhs is to make sure we have an FHS-compliant set of directories.
We had a few spells that expected them so chroot creation is helped by
having a single spell handle it -- it appears you've found a bug in how
it sets permissions. I thought it wasn't going to mess with permissions
unless it has to create a new directory there, but apparently it mangles
permissions. Eric, what did you do now?
