I'm packaging polipo, the web proxy. To help with starting, stopping etc. I wrote a helper script "polipo-control" that I put in /usr/lib/polipo/. It is called by /etc/init.d/polipo.
How can I make this script executable? Can I get dh_install or another debhelper script to do it somehow or shall I add an "install --mode 755" line in debian/rules? Please CC me on replies. Tom
