Bug#890618: scowl: please make the build reproducible

Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed
that scowl could not be built reproducibly.

This is, for some reason, dh_fixperms is not being called. I
am not sure why as you are using dh(1) … but maybe there is
something I am missing or not understanding about the .PHONY
targets.

I'll leave it with you but the attached patch fixes this for
me.
