prevu-update sets incorrect ownership on newly created Packages files

Bug Description

If you remove /var/cache/prevu/$distro-debs/Packages and then run prevu-update, a Packages index like this is created:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3298 2006-11-29 15:55 /var/cache/prevu/dapper-debs/Packages

This is incorrect. A subsequent run of prevu-update fixes this:
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root admin 3298 2006-11-29 15:57 /var/cache/prevu/dapper-debs/Packages

Somehow if prevu-update has to create its own Packages index, it doesn't chown/chmod it correctly.
