Name        : bogofilter                   Relocations: (not relocatable)
Version     : 1.1.7                             Vendor: Dag Apt Repository,

So that answers your questions and mine :-)  It was updated a couple of days 
ago.  Presumably that's where the permissions got changed.  Perhaps any 
issues with this package should be reported to Dag Wieers.  I'll do that if 
you tell me what, apart from the permissions issue, I need to report.

BTW, I assume the original install was also an rpmforge one.  
The ...contrib/contrib was so before this upgrade.
