This list is the appropriate venue for such a question.  I'm sorry about
the delay, I've been annoyingly busy lately.

I see no reason for this package to try adding redundant data to
console.perms.d.  The packager should be able to to just leave that out and
have the package work perfectly.  The permissions are already being set
elsewhere.

Even if jfbterm does need this file, it would be prudent to consider it a
bug and leave such things to pam.

Thanks.
