Thanks for the hint. What I do now (in d/rules) is basically:

override_dh_auto_install:
	dh_auto_install
	chmod ugo+x debian/tmp/usr/lib/*/octave/site/oct/api-*/*/plplot_octave.oct

override_dh_shlibdeps:
	dh_shlibdeps
	chmod ugo-x debian/octave-plplot/usr/lib/*/octave/site/oct/api-*/*/plplot_octave.oct

This seems to work well. A debug package is created as well.

Best regards

Ole
