Interesting: My $prefix is /usr/lib/mailman. However, there is a
/var/lib/mailman as that's where archives is. It's owned and grouped
properly, and it does have the 1-bit set in the 'other' portion of its
permissions mask. I can definitely fix that. But why does this all
appear in /var/lib/mailman and not /usr/lib/mailman?
