[Lunar-bugs] [bug] odd permissions on certain files...

doing a 'find / \( -perm -02000 -o -perm -04000 \) -ls' on my system
turned up a few strange hits.  For those of you that do not know what
that command does, it bring back a list of all files that are setuserid
and/or setgroupid).  The sXids that caught my eye were...

(note: output was cleaned up for readability)
...
drwxrwsrwx  root:root Oct 15  2003 /usr/share/doc/ntp/conf
drwxr-sr-x  root:root Aug  4 09:56 /usr/share/doc/firefox/README
drwxr-sr-x  root:root Aug  4 09:56 /usr/share/doc/firefox/README/CVS
drwxr-sr-x  root:root Aug  4 09:47
/usr/share/doc/firefox/README/mozilla
drwxr-sr-x  root:root Aug  4 09:47
/usr/share/doc/firefox/README/mozilla/CVS
drwxr-sr-x  root:root Aug 21 19:53 /usr/share/doc/cdrtools/doc
...

Can anyone else confirm these modules install the aforementioned files
as sXids?  Does anyone know why they are like that?  Should they be?  I
would assume not, but there are always people that know something I do
not :)

There were a host of others too, but I assume they all have legitimate
reasons (passwd, ping, (u)mount, mail, write, et al)
