Which precise package did you look at?

The i386 package does indeed have the directory as 0755:

adsb@franck:~$ dpkg-deb -c 
ftp/pool/main/f/fontforge/libfontforge-dev_20120731.b-5_i386.deb | egrep 
"^d.*pkgconfig/$"
drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2014-01-01 08:34 ./usr/lib/pkgconfig/

All other architectures are 0775, however:

adsb@franck:~$ dpkg-deb -c 
ftp/pool/main/f/fontforge/libfontforge-dev_20120731.b-5_mips.deb | egrep 
"^d.*pkgconfig/$"
drwxrwxr-x root/root         0 2014-01-02 03:18 ./usr/lib/pkgconfig/

It may well be a bug, but not in lintian.
