Bug#570172: initramfs hooks are not executed

Package: brltty
Version: 4.1-4
Severity: important

Hi,

It seems that initramfs hooks must be executable for them to be run during
an initramfs rebuild.  brltty's hook is not executable:

$ mkinitramfs -v -o /tmp/test.initrd
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/brltty ignored: not executable

The following patch to debian/rules should solve the problem:

diff -uNrp brltty-4.1~/debian/rules brltty-4.1/debian/rules
