Hi, Disregard my previous advise. I should have read the man page of dh_fixperms first: dh_fixperms makes all files in usr/share/doc in the package build directory (excluding files in the examples/ directory) be mode 644. So it seems you have to do it with a call to chmod in your debian/rules. Greetings Arjan
