Bug#259396: /usr/bin/lintian: Permission denied

[Ludovic Rousseau <rousseau@debian.org>]

Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.1
Severity: grave
Tags: patch
Justification: renders package unusable

The lintian_1.23.1_all.deb archive contains /usr/bin/lintian with wrong
access rights:

$ lintian
bash: /usr/bin/lintian: Permission denied

$ ls -l /usr/bin/lintian 
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root        45462 2004-07-13 01:37 /usr/bin/lintian

The script do _not_ has the execution rights.

I tried to rebuild the package and the script now _has_ the execution
rights.

I don't know what went wrong and suggest a rebuild and new upload (and
try to find the cause of the bug).
