The '-a' option shouldn't hurt.  I don't see any files flagged as "text"
in the archives.

$ mv tex/texmf-linux/bin/mktexlsr tex/texmf-linux/bin/mktexlsr.orig
$ unzip -a linuxtex.zip tex/texmf-linux/bin/mktexlsr
Archive:  linuxtex.zip
  inflating: tex/texmf-linux/bin/mktexlsr  [text]
$ ls -l tex/texmf-linux/bin/mktexlsr tex/texmf-linux/bin/mktexlsr.orig
-rw-r--r--  1 gwhite bod 5310 May 18 15:15 tex/texmf-linux/bin/mktexlsr
-rwxr-xr-x  1 gwhite bod 5310 May 18 15:15 tex/texmf-linux/bin/mktexlsr.orig

so, permissions are lost, but:

$ diff tex/texmf-linux/bin/mktexlsr tex/texmf-linux/bin/mktexlsr.orig
115,118c115,116

---
$//;1q' \"$db_file\"`" != "x$ls_R_magic" \
$//;1q' \"$db_file\"`" != "x$old_ls_R_magic"; then

an embedded ^M in a sed rule is being munged.  This should be changed
to use '\r' in place of '^M'.

I see Taco has answered this.
