Hi Andreas,
from the maq manpage, it seems that users are expected to be able to run
maq or maq.pl in command line, so they definitely will have to go to
/usr/bin. maq.pl is a pipeline that calls many maq programs (themselves
called through /usr/bin maq). If this is a good reason for keeping the
.pl extension, we can write a Lintian override, otherwise let's discuss
the issue with Upstream. Same for the undocumented Perl scripts: let's
write a minimal POD manpage and submit the diff as a bug report in
SourceForge.

Unfortunately it still crashes. I will ask on debian-powerpc and keep
you informed.
Have a nice day,
