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

Ah, whoops, looks like I screwed up in two ways here. I meant to write
"then removes the *group* executable bits" and the patch should match:

  -override_dh_fixperms:
  -        dh_fixperms -Xusr/libexec/installed-tests
  +execute_after_dh_fixperms:
  +        find debian -path "*/usr/libexec/installed-tests/*" -type f print0 | xargs -0r chmod g-x

Sure thing; you will probably find a cleaner solution anyway. :)
