No big deal but on a production/sensitive system, you should check what the installer is precisely complaining of just in case there is a real security issue.

is this something i dont really need to worry about?
I usually go ahead and let the installer do its stuff.
Quote:
what attributes does it refer to? does it relate to file security?
This generally applies to common directories defined in different packages with differing access permissions and/or owners/groups. They are often associated with third party open source packages, especially those that insist installing in bogus shared directories like /usr/local. They can also be due to a stricter permission setting than the regular one (OS hardening) and it that case, you should reapply it after the package or patch installation.

DH_INSTALLXSP(1)					User Contributed Perl Documentation					  DH_INSTALLXSP(1)

NAME
dh_installxsp - install host files into /etc/xsp/conf.d and /etc/mono-server/conf.d SYNOPSIS
dh_installxsp [debhelper options] [--name=name] [-V version(s)] DESCRIPTION
dh_installxsp is a debhelper program that will install host configuration files in /etc/xsp2/conf.d and /etc/mono-server2/conf.d (for XSP 2) or /etc/xsp4/conf.d and /etc/mono-server4/conf.d (for XSP 4). So, if xsp 2 (or xsp 4) is install or will be installed, when xsp starts it automatically starts the daemon with the host file. The files debian/package.hostxsp2 are installed for XSP 2 while debian/package.hostxsp4 are used for XSP 4. In the debian/rules file, dh_installxsp needs to be called before dh_installdeb to make sure the files are properly marked as conffiles to avoid the lintian warnings. Otherwise, the files created in /etc/ need to be marked as conffiles. OPTIONS
--name=name Look for files named debian/package.hostxsp{2,4} and install them as /etc/xsp{2,4}/conf.d/package/hostfile. -V version(s) Installs the files for XSP 2.0 (-V 2), XSP 4.0 (-V 4), or both (-V 2,4). If this version is not specified (or just -V is given), this only installed files for XSP 4, not XSP 2. SEE ALSO
debhelper(7) This program is a part of mono-utils. AUTHOR
Originally written by Pablo Fischer <pablo@pablo.com.mx>. Modified by Dylan R. E. Moonfire <debian@mfgames.com> to handle XSP and XSP 2 installation. Modified by Jo Shields <directhex@apebox.org> to drop XSP and add XSP 4. perl v5.14.2 2012-01-18 DH_INSTALLXSP(1)
