But if you don't remove the extension, and it is in the $PATH varriable, you
won't be able to get your program into debian:

This is fine and good for scripts which are formally installed, but
while they (originals) are in the source tree, there are definite
benefits for scripts to have a useful extension. This is particularly
true if people build in the source tree so that scripts and binaries
may be intermingled.
