[Bug 980772] [NEW] Various files and directories created with odd permissions on precise

[Jamie Strandboge]

Public bug reported:

When performing install audits of yesterday's 12.04 isos, I found the
following odd directory on servers:

$ ls -ld /media/
drwsrwsrwt 3 root root 4096 Apr 13 06:06 /media/

In 11.10 we had:
drwxr-xr-x root root

The desktop install does not seem to be affected:
$ ls -ld /media/
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 12 02:42 /media/

Other directories:
drwsrwsrwt 2 root root 40 Apr 13 06:59 /run/initramfs/ (desktop and server)
drwsrwsrwt 2 root root 4096 Apr 13 07:21 /var/lib/apt/lists/partial (server only)
