other debhelper config files (e.g. debian/install) are potentially
executable, in which case debhelper executes them and treats the
output of the command as the contents of the file.
a simple and common use of this is dh-exec, which can be used to
substitute simple patterns and common variables in the config file.
however, if i make debian/dkms executable and give it the appropriate
shebang line, dh_dkms does not execute the file, it just reads it
directly.
it would be nice to have dh_dkms use the same convention as the rest
of debhelper here.
How would you want to use that?
Do you have an example that illustrates how this would simplify your work?
Note that .dkms is a shell script, not a list of files like e.g.
.install or .links that are frequently customized with dh-exec.
