Title:
  Wrong read permission for 'linux' file in ubuntu 18.04 netboot tar

Status in debian-installer package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  In the netboot tar file downloaded from
  http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/bionic/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz
  the file './ubuntu-installer/amd64/linux' has file permissions 600.

  In the previous Ubuntu releases the 'linux' file has permissions 644.
  Also, the 'linux' file in the 32-bit-version tar file for Ubuntu 18.04
  has file permissions 644.

  The file permissions 600 causes that a pxe installation fails if using
  the tftpd-hpa package with the default configuration. The process is
  run as user tftp which has no read permission for the 'linux' file.

  Please change permissions to 644 for './ubuntu-installer/amd64/linux'
  in the netboot tar file.
