Bug#436241: dh-make: please include in the cron.d.ex file an [ -x ] test



Package: dh-make
Version: 0.42
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-qa@lists.debian.org

Please include in the cron.d.ex file an [ -x ] test as already happens
for initscripts.

See these threads:
	http://lists.debian.org/debian-qa/2007/08/msg00000.html
	http://lists.debian.org/debian-qa/2007/08/msg00032.html

It's actually in policy.

I think dh-make should help with some change like:

--- cron.d.ex.orig	2007-08-06 09:42:47.000000000 -0400
+++ cron.d.ex	2007-08-06 09:42:42.000000000 -0400
