Fixing the python-support umask issue for .private files would make more
packages build reproducibly.

For example, consider the xtalk package, which builds reproducibly
*except* for the umask difference in
usr/​share/​python-​support/​xtalk.​private, which appears to be generated by
python-support:

        --dkg
