Personally, I think those are bugs in the package. It doesn't make any sense to start a file with #!/bin/false; if you don't want it to be executable, don't install it executable in the first place. (And I believe the executable bit is already fixed in Debian packaging anyway.) Now, whether it's a bug over which we want to fight with upstream is another question, and maybe we should just ignore it since it's not a big deal. But unless I'm missing some problem that this solves, it seems like a weird and pointless practice that upstream would be better off dropping. Most of the existing overrides are from one Perl package, libintl-perl, and given that no other Perl package in the archive does this, it seems obviously unnecessary. -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
