AFAICT it's the same problem or non-problem as with any file out there if a file that is not meant to be executable has executable bits set. But I believe it's pretty much cosmetic in this case. The reason I was asking are separate extra kernel module packages; in those it's usually trivial to tune the permissions to be "correct" and still have rpm auto-strip them. Or at least more trivial than in the actual kernel package as currently implemented.
