Another way file permissions can be set during the build process is in the
debian/rules file like this:
-------------------------------------------------------
%:
dh $-at-
override_dh_installinit:
install -m 0755 $(CURDIR)/scripts/start.init $(CURDIR)/debian/thing.init
dh_installinit
-------------------------------------------------------
So in this case if what's being packaged is a daemon called 'thing', the
above will copy and rename the "start.init" init script during the build to
debian/thing.init with permissions -rwxr-xr-x whereby dh_installinit will
pick it up and install it to the binary package.
Likewise you could call a script within the debian/rules file to change
permissions on source files before the build. Unfortunately permissions
isn't something that can be altered with a quilt patch.
