I noticed that the `make install`  ran chmod on /usr/include/*.h. and 
this may be why checkinstall included the file.  I think the 
installation script just copied some *.h files to /usr/incldue, but too 
lazy to write each each *.h a chmod statement.

I would say this is un-acceptable if that's the case.
