I've no idea why a .png image would be made executable by debhelper,
but I suppose you could change it manually yourself, e.g.:

override_dh_fixperms:
    dh_fixperms
    chmod -x usr/share/games/flare/fonts/white.png

(This is probably a rather ugly workaround though...)

If CMakeLists.txt isn't placed in the top-level directory of your
source tree, then try passing --sourcedirectory=directory to dh, where
"directory" is whichever directory contains CMakeLists.txt.
