Would it be better to run the script during the package build or
install and then just dump it?  (I guess you'd also have to drop
the Makefile and remove or modify the README file.)

Are there any non--tetex-* packages that install documentation in
the /usr/share/doc/texmf tree that would want to run this script?

You can also apply for an exception by sending mail to the Lintian
maintainers.  If they're cool with it, you can add a
lintian.override to your package that will stop Lintian from
complaining.

It looks to me like a binary in /usr/share/doc would trigger one
or more of the following warnings/errors:

   arch-independent-package-contains-binary-or-object
   executable-in-usr-doc
   executable-in-usr-share-doc
   script-in-usr-doc
   script-in-usr-share-doc

(As it is, it seems like tetex-base could be getting the
``script-not-executable'' warning.)
