Indeed, it is a Debian interpretation and, after all, Lintian tags the warning as “pedantic”.
At any rate, we have been removing the execute permission of the *.oct files of the Debian package octave since a long time, more precisely, since commit f24aee742.
Nevertheless, I think it would be good to implement the fix in dh- octave. However, I don’t see why this implies that we need to version Build-Depends. We can just wait until all our packages are gradually fixed via the normal rhythm of uploads.Yes, I think gradually fixing this via dh-octave is probably the best way to address this.
The new version of dh-testing (0.7.4) which implements this is already in unstable.
Best, Rafael
