However, dh_fixperms seems to fix the permissions for bin directories if
compat  >= 4  according to  the  manpage ("It  makes all  files in  bin/
directories, /usr/games/  and etc/init.d executable (v4  only)") and its
source code (around line 88).   So it should correctly fixed permissions
of /usr/bin (using chmod a+x in dh_fixperms).
