Our deployment architecture isn't fast evolving, it just changed a lot
due to git. Scap was broken for an unrelated reason, and we fixed it
yesterday. The permissions issues were due to Niklas having a broken
umask; Aaron ran into this earlier as well, and we don't really handle
the umask situation well unfortunately.

Generally, poking people if things break works well enough IMO.
There's not really a given person or team that is able to help with
all deployment-related problems because there are different kinds.
