Dear Sir or Madam,
0) Context
DEB packages of `mediawiki' and many of its extensions, are prepared as part of the WP-MIRROR project (see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wp-mirror).
- Lintian
During the build process, `lintian' performs a great number of sanity checks, including seeing if each file has file permissions appropriate to its file type.
When lintian' sees a non-executable file with 755 permissions, rather than 644, lintian' will throw a warning like:
W: wp-mirror-mediawiki-extensions: executable-not-elf-or-script usr/share/wp-mirror-mediawiki/extensions/MobileFrontend/includes/specials/SpecialMobileLanguages.php
- Files which should have permissions set to 644
MobileFrontend/includes/specials/SpecialMobileLanguages.php
MobileFrontend/less/specials/images/userNormal.svg
MobileFrontend/tests/browser/Gemfile

DEB standards version: 3.9.6
