dpkg --build changing permissions (?)



The upstream maintainers of PostgreSQL have changed certain files to 
permissions 0555, which is contrary to Debian policy.

I put commands in debian/rules to fix this, but somehow that isn't reflected
in the .deb files.

Here's an extract from the build output; commands are in the rules file.

ls -l debian/ecpg/usr/bin/ecpg 
-rwxr-xr-x   1 olly     olly       240464 Jul 18 08:56 debian/ecpg/usr/bin/ecpg
dh_builddeb -a
...
dpkg-deb: building package `ecpg' in `../ecpg_6.5-3_i386.deb'.
...
dpkg-buildpackage: full upload (original source is included)
Now running lintian...
...
W: ecpg: non-standard-executable-perm usr/bin/ecpg 0555 != 0755


What's going on?
