Yes, that would do it.  Large hammer for small nail.  However you could
also restrict your chmod to only the affected files, and do it to the
files prior to install.  Remind me where your debian/rules file is
stored (git somewhere, if I recall correctly), and I can have a look.

Also, have you reported it upstream and have they acknowledged?

I'm unsure of your meaning.  I don't know if these files need to be +x,
but my meagre research suggests not.  You should do functional test on
the package to make sure you can connect to an IRC server and have a
conversation.
