Hi,

my analysis of this issue is as follows:

* only the package in jessie ships the file with permissions 0755
* the package in stretch is fine (0644)
* I didn't see any obvious changes in the package itself, so it's
  probably a debhelper change that fixed this
* (I didn't manage to build either the stretch package in jessie
   nor to build the jessie package in stretch to verify this)

But the permissions are not fixed upon upgrade from jessie, causing
problems for piuparts, more than 5000 packages in jessie2stretch-rcmd
cannot be tested:

https://piuparts.debian.org/jessie2stretch-rcmd/fail/libsasl2-modules_2.1.27~101-g0780600+dfsg-2.log

1m27.5s ERROR: FAIL: After purging files have been modified:

Attached is a patch to normalize the permissions upon upgrade
from jessie. It would be great if this could be applied for
stretch. I verified in piuparts that this will fix the issue.


Thanks

Andreas
