relative paths should be used in INSTALL scripts.
I'm also not the biggest fan of changing permissions of config files in INSTALL scripts.

Done. But is there a better way?

File permissions are part of the packaged files and applied when extracted.

I think that setup needs a bit more consideration and precedence from other distributions, chowing *.conf also doesn't seem too nice.
I think its better to not mix this into a bug fix PR.

Without this patch, wifi connection fails in certain cases (e.g. pixel hotspot to macbook air).
Whille at it, also add an unpriviledge user
_wpas: this does nothing per se, but it makes life easier if you want to run the service unprivileged (otherwise permissions on conf files are rewritten at every update).
