And what this allows us to do is also statically check that the permission bits are correct: if something like sudo's `make install` regresses for cross targets (wild example), it will be caught at package build time. Statically checking `setgid` in Void is not really possible (it has to happen in `INSTALL`), because of how we (at least currently) manage groups. Most of the group usage is `chown root:` then set perms to `4750`. However, again because it happens in `INSTALL`, this breaks static checking.
