Ha, so I was actually quite right :)

You got me thinking that way after expressing your suspicion about the sudo checkinstall.

Maybe even NTFS is enough to mess up linux permissions, no need for FAT32 (?)

Glad it works now.

Generally speaking, if you want to move files from one unix/linux system to another unix/linux system, make tar archives (aka a tarball) it's the best way to keep the rights, owners and groups.
Do not decompress on a FAT or FAT32 system. You lose rights and make new owner.
DOS/Windows file systems (i.e. FAT, FAT32 and in some case NTFS) do not use attributes 'executable' (i.e. +/-x) to define whether a program should be executable or not. (Not to be confused with execution rights)

Basic commands to know:
To decompress a compressed tar (tgz or tar.gz)
$ tar xvzf <archive>

To compress a directory
$ tar cvzf <archive> <directory or file(s)>
