1) There ain't no executable bits set, in this case ;)

2) Depending on a package's details you sometimes can't unset these 
executable bits, e.g. in some scenarios sys-roots are supposed to be 
shareable between cross-hosts and the foreign system, e.g. via nfs-mounts.

3) Doing so may break some tools.
