.deb package fails linting on Debian #20380

Description

@jean

When opening a .deb package using GDebi (0.9.5.3ubuntu2), you have the option to see Lintian output.
This raises a bunch of warnings and some errors, mostly to do with executable permission on files that shouldn't be executable.

  • VSCode Version: code_1.9.1-1486597190_amd64.deb, code-insiders_1.10.0-1486640887_amd64.deb
  • OS Version: Linux Mint 17.3 Rosa

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Double-click .deb to open the package in GDebi
  2. and visit the Lintian output tab.

Sample output:

E: code: shlib-with-executable-bit usr/share/code/resources/app/node_modules/gc-signals/build/Release/gcsignals.node 0755
