That's very good that it fails :)

I tested on Ubuntu 14.04, maybe Debian distributions are even more 
strict. Apparently the files that "file(WRITE ...)" created on your 
system are with 775. I believe the problem lies in the "file(" commands 
rather than on a different version of lintian.

OTOH, I can see from this:

https://lintian.debian.org/tags/control-file-has-bad-permissions.html

that all files should have at least a permission mask set to ~S_IWGRP & 
~S_IWOTH (with "control_tar.SetPermissionsMask(~S_IWGRP & ~S_IWOTH)"), 
so that the executable bit is left unchanged and the write bit is 
cleared for group and others (755 and 644).

What do you think?
