Debhelper(dh_fixperms) usually takes care of this.

Given how RPM is "developed", requiring shared objects to be executable is 
just dumb but no surprise. If rpm needs something else, it is free to change 
the permissions of a file from 0444 to whatever.
May be yet another RPM bug, though, and I wouldn't on it being fixed by now or 
anytime in the future.
