dh_fixperms headaches
If you ever wondered why lines such as
in your debian/rules file seem to be magically ignored in the resulting package, then look no further. It took me some time to figure it out, after trying all kind of combinations of post-install, pre-finalize and pre-install routines. In the end it was quite obvious.
By including the standard debhelper rules (/usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/debhelper.mk) there're a whole bunch of scripts being unleashed on your package and one of them is dh_fixperms(1) which "removes the setuid and setgid bits from all files in the package".
That's fine, but we want to override this with a statement in debian/rules
where the regex excludes each file which matches. Good to know.
install/mypackage:
chmod 4511 debian/tmp/usr/bin/my_setuid_binary
chmod 4511 debian/tmp/usr/bin/my_setuid_binary
