Another minor change in dh12 is compression of examples.

In bacula-common in /u/s/d/bacula-common/examples/autochangers there are
some scripts and mail-snippetes, which get compressed in dh11 and are
left alone in dh12.

Reasoning here seems to be that space savings of the installed package
is minor but when searching or using the examples, the compression is
annoying to the user.

But this creates a new lintian warning:

W: bacula-common: executable-not-elf-or-script
usr/share/doc/bacula-common/examples/autochangers/mtx-changer.Adic-Scalar-100

lintian is right here, the file does contain a script further down but
is just a mail in full mbox format.

Two solutions: 1) override the warning or 2) make the file 640 instead
of 755.

I am leaning towards the latter, because in its current state the file
should really not be executable.

Grüße,
Sven
