I have some other uploads already, tho only in
debian-mentors. I don't believe I can upload the same name twice.

That led me to use debian version suffixes 0.112-1, 0.112-2, 0.112-3

Can I got back to packaging as 0.112-1 if I use svn-inject?

I found the following

override_dh_installexamples:
	dh_installexamples
	sed -i '1s|^#!perl|#!/usr/bin/perl|' $(TMP)/usr/share/doc/$(PACKAGE)/examples/*

presumably that should go in the control file.
