I had a similar issue as well and was able to fix it.

In my package build environment I have a directory source tree, which
starts with root/opt/..... My installation package sets the
permissions based on the permissions set in that source tree. In my
environment, the opt directory was set differently than on the system,
and during the install process, my installation package was changing
the system opt to the security setting from my source tree. Once I
changed mine to match the system and rebuilt the install package, the
problem went away.

Cheers,
