Guile projects have a similar beef with lintian: all the compiled
libraries are ELF objects and lintian thinks they are really awful ELFs.
:) Every Guile package uses lintian overrides to get rid of the bogus
warnings.
I would go ahead and add overrides for this as well. If they're not
meant to be executable then setting them +x is certainly wrong.
(You might of course want to reconsider using the #! syntax in this
case, but that requires changes upstream. Just mentioning it as an
option.)
