[Bug 311550] [NEW] dpatch patch-file permissions incorrect

[TJ]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: mythtv

When testing package builds (especially when the source has been added
to a git repository to aid work-flow) it becomes obvious that after a
build/clean cycle several files remain changed.

One such issue is the dpatch scriptlets in debian/patches/ start off
with 0644 (rw-r--r--) permissions but after dpatch has run they have
been 'promoted' to 0755 (rwxr-xr-x).

Dpatch expects them to be callable as scripts so this is correct. It
would be neater if the original source package had these file
permissions set correctly. This would avoid hackers and packagers
wasting time double-checking the reasons for inconsistencies after a
build/clean cycle.
