Bug#1006870: sdl12-compat: please make the build reproducible

[Chris Lamb]

Source: sdl12-compat
Version: 1.2.52-3
Severity: wishlist

Hi Simon,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0] we noticed that
sdl12-compat could not be built reproducibly. This is because avoiding
execute permissions in /usr/libexec/installed-tests meant that the
package varied depending on the umask — the group bits were varying.

Instead of not calling dh_fixperms at all, a patch is attached that
lets it run as usual but then removes the executable bits.
