File permissions



Mentors,

I am attempting to build a package and lintian is spitting out a bunch
of "executable-not-elf-or-script" warnings.

The upstream tarball has an examples directory which I am installing
into the package using dh_installexamples. None of the examples are
shell scripts or ELF binaries, yet they seem to untar with executable
permissions.

What is the best way to modify the permissions when I copy them over?

regards

James
