Frank, I suggest invoking your script with "sh -c", could you test this
patch?

Sure - I'll test and force push that change.

UPDATE:
I tested that change with [1] in "normal" installation mode and it still
complains with "permission denied". It works through though, when I make
"mkhfs-bootstrap.sh" executable. I then tested with a "real" sh locally
and it behaves the same. It works with just `sh '[...]'` and
`mkhfs-bootstrap.sh` without execute permissions.

So I now included a modified change (without ` -c`,) rebased to current
master of the upstream branch and force pushed it to my feature branch
on salsa.d.o. The MR is at [2].

[1]:
https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/ports/2019-04-09/debian-10.0-ppc64-NETINST-1.iso

[2]: https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/grub-installer/merge_requests/2

But I actually wonder why `mkhfs-bootstrap.sh` doesn't get installed
with execute permissions, because the `grub-installer` script retains
its execute permissions when installed and both have the same
permissions in the git repo:

```
$ git ls-files --stage
[...]

100644 e49f9ac6dbd58be8b8ea533c575a5bb7c102381e 0	prep-bootdev.c
[...]
```

...and I also don't see any specific differences for `grub-installer`
compared to `mkhfs-bootstrap.sh` in `debian/grub-installer.install`,
except for the destination path (`/usr/bin` and
`/usr/lib/grub-installer` respectively).

Any idea where the permissions when installed are actually configured?

Cheers,
Frank
