Which umask?  My person one?  If mock requires a specific umask value,
it should simply set one itself.

You'll note that I mentioned that I do many package reviews; these
aren't my rpms.  Also, %defattr is present in the packages I have seen
to have this problem.  (Fedora guidelines mandate it.)  Is there some
specific %defattr value you suggest?  "(-.root,root,-)" is quite
common.
