Maybe a script-not-executable regression in the upcoming lintian release



Hi,

since I run a recent (one or two weeks old) lintian git snapshot, I
noticed a few occurrences of an IIRC older tag which look like false
positives:

W: zsh-common: script-not-executable usr/share/bug/zsh-common/zsh-common.bug-script
W: zsh: script-not-executable usr/share/bug/zsh/zsh.bug-script
W: zsh-static: script-not-executable usr/share/bug/zsh-static/zsh-static.bug-script

But in my source package those files do have an executable bit. So I
suspect that dh_fixperms removes them again, likely on purpose:

→ ls -l debian/*bug-script
lrwxrwxrwx 1 abe abe   14 May  5 23:29 debian/zsh-common.bug-script -> zsh.bug-script*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 abe abe   14 May  5 23:29 debian/zsh-static.bug-script -> zsh.bug-script*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 abe abe 1403 May  5 23:29 debian/zsh.bug-script*

If this debhelper behaviour is not expected, it's probably a bug in
debhelper found by lintian. Otherwise I assume a regression in
lintian.

(Don't have time now to investigate further. Just wanted to drop this
to the ML before lintian is uploaded.)
