Please fix the file permissions in the brave-keyring Debian package

See original GitHub issue

When I installed brave-browser from the https://brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com/ APT repository on my Debian system, it pulled the brave-keyring package as a dependency. There’s control.tar.gz and data.tar.xz archives in this package (as usual), and all files in the archives are owned by bkero/bkero. This has some implications when installing this kind of a package. Basically apt/aptitude/apt-get call dpkg-deb, which (because of the wrong file permissions) wants couple of additional capabilities (chown, fowner, fsetid). To avoid this, all the files in the .deb package have to be owned by root/root. Please fix this, thanks.
