You could avoid having to do the chmod in override_dh_install if you<br>
converted the source package to the 3.0 (quilt) format; that would mean<br>
that the executable bit would be preserved in the source package.<br>
<br>
Indeed, I saw that and StevenK suggested the same, but then I was advised<br>
to drop the debian/source folder as per the instructions in [2]. If this<br>
is a better way and it is compatible with the CI train, then I'll be happy<br>
to change the source to 3.0 (quilt).<br>

The thrust of that advice seems to be to drop all quilt patches, and<br>
then it's just dropping debian/source/ as a side-effect. I think this<br>
is probably slightly misguided - it's perfectly reasonable to use the<br>
3.0 (quilt) format even if you have no quilt patches, and as this shows<br>
it can be useful to do so (another reason why it might be useful would<br>
be if one needed to ship binary files under debian/). You should check<br>
with a CI train expert whether it's compatible, though.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

I confirm this is completely compatible. Some of the sources are using it. Not sure why this instruction is there as this was from early daily-release days, 2 years ago, but then, was fixed.<br>
