I see. Then the problem is we have many dirs in / set to GID 1000,

and dpkg doesn't care much:

bilbo:/tmp# dpkg --contents base-files_3.0.3_hurd-i386.deb | grep tmp
drwxrwxrwt root/root         0 2002-06-04 15:42:18 ./tmp/
drwxrwxrwt root/root         0 2002-06-04 15:42:18 ./var/tmp/
bilbo:/tmp# dpkg -i base-files_3.0.3_hurd-i386.deb 
(Reading database ... 21633 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace base-files 3.0.3 (using base-files_3.0.3_hurd-i386.deb) 
...Unpacking replacement base-files ...
Setting up base-files (3.0.3) ...

bilbo:/tmp# ls -ndl .
drwxrwxrwt    3 0        1000         4096 Jun  4 15:42 .
bilbo:/tmp#
