Oh, yes, I meant more /usr/lib/mypackage/foo.sh or something like that,
or I suppose /usr/share/mypackage/foo.sh since not a binary. Maybe all
of /usr/lib/ would have to be excluded if it's too much of a mess there.

Yes, sounds good. I have in mind that the executable bit means it's
supposed to be executed, or could be executed, so check that doing so
stands a chance of working ...
