In commit b0df35f47f
("base-files: Add to make some directories needed by LSB.") there
were new groupings of dirs made. But rather than keep the grouping
names permissions based as they clearly were, it seems that it was
unfortunately misinterpreted as a counter, simply incrementing as
a new group was added.
This leads to dir3755 getting chmod'd to 0755 and dir4775 being
chmod'd to 2775 which to any new reader of the code is terribly
confusing.
Choose names that clearly reflect the permissions, and add a lsb
suffix to indicate the role.
Also note that the settings for /var/mail seem incorrect, and so
they have been aligned with what is seen in most common distros.

Poky
Poky is an integration of various components to form a complete prepackaged build system and development environment. It features support for building customised embedded device style images. There are reference demo images featuring a X11/Matchbox/GTK themed UI called Sato. The system supports cross-architecture application development using QEMU emulation and a standalone toolchain and SDK with IDE integration.
Additional information on the specifics of hardware that Poky supports is available in README.hardware. Further hardware support can easily be added in the form of layers which extend the systems capabilities in a modular way.
As an integration layer Poky consists of several upstream projects such as BitBake, OpenEmbedded-Core, Yocto documentation and various sources of information e.g. for the hardware support. Poky is in turn a component of the Yocto Project.
The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about the system including a reference manual which can be found at: http://yoctoproject.org/documentation
OpenEmbedded-Core is a layer containing the core metadata for current versions of OpenEmbedded. It is distro-less (can build a functional image with DISTRO = "nodistro") and contains only emulated machine support.
For information about OpenEmbedded, see the OpenEmbedded website: http://www.openembedded.org/
Where to Send Patches
As Poky is an integration repository, patches against the various components should be sent to their respective upstreams.
bitbake: bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org
meta-yocto: poky@yoctoproject.org
Most everything else should be sent to the OpenEmbedded Core mailing list. If in doubt, check the oe-core git repository for the content you intend to modify. Before sending, be sure the patches apply cleanly to the current oe-core git repository. openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org
Note: The scripts directory should be treated with extra care as it is a mix of oe-core and poky-specific files.
