To quote from Debian Policy:
Files should be owned by `root.root', and made writable only by the owner and
universally readable (and executable, if appropriate), that is mode 644 or 755.
[:]
They should not be made unreadable (modes like 4711 or 2711 or even 4111);
doing so achieves no extra security, because anyone can find the binary in the
freely available Debian package; it is merely inconvenient.
** Changed in: sysvinit (Ubuntu)
Status: Unconfirmed => Rejected

Init scripts have permissions 0755 instead of 0754 or 0750
