KESHAV P.R. mentions ntfs and such partitions that, if I understand
correctly, don't do per-file executable bit and are therefore typically
mounted with everything "executable".
Is there any legitimate use of an executable bit in a package? Perhaps
makepkg --source could just strip all of the executable bits*. If they
bit is really necessary for something, the PKGBUILD could use `chmod` or
`install` to make something executable... I know, that's not
particularly Arch-y.
