I need to run a script as part of debian/rules. I can't rely on it
being executable when unpacked, since dpkg-source doesn't preserve the
mode.
I can explicitly call its interpreter (Perl in this case):
/usr/bin/perl debian/my-script ....
or I can set it executable each time:
chmod +x debian/my-script
debian/my-script ...
Is there a preferred approach? Thanks.
