 I'd be surprised if the the ISO generating software didn't reset ownership
 of everything you put in ~user for you automatically, to save you the
 trouble versus making you use the slightly circuitous & double space
 wasting /etc/skel/.

 Atm the content of the user's home-folder is copied to /etc/skel and
 /home/user (because user's not a system user) is deleted. When you boot
 from the DVD, it creates a new user on the fly using the stuff in
 /etc/skel.
