[Debian-in-workers] Lintian warning about excutable font

[Muneeb Shaikh]

I was stumbling with fonts-knda-extra package to remove
"executable-not-elf-or-script" warning. I finally found that the tarball
which is generated from deltas in pristine-tar branch is having
executable permissions. And no matter how hard I tried, I wasn't able to
get correct deltas in pristine tar branch. So I need help in fixing this
pristine tar branch.

Check the following output.

muneeb at nixlap $ pristine-tar checkout fonts-knda-extra_1.0.orig.tar.gz
pristine-tar: successfully generated fonts-knda-extra_1.0.orig.tar.gz

muneeb at nixlap $ tar -tvf fonts-knda-extra_1.0.orig.tar.gz

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The *ttf files have executable bit set in upstream branch.

So we have to 1) unset that bit in upstream branch, 2) generate new
deltas in pristine-tar branch and 3) check if generated tarball have
appropriate permissions. (I have heard that pristine-tar sometime fails)
