quilt: permission denied problems with helper scripts


Hi!

When working on some newlib patches, ran into this:

peda@pulkan ~/newlib/src/newlib
$ quilt refresh
/usr/share/quilt/refresh: line 253: /usr/share/quilt/scripts/remove-trailing-ws: Permission denied
Patch patches/wordexp-avoid-strdup.patch is unchanged

peda@pulkan ~/newlib/src/newlib
$ ls -lG /usr/share/quilt/scripts
total 68
-rwxr-xr-x 1 peda  6219 May 24  2011 backup-files
-rw-r--r-- 1 peda 13114 May 24  2011 dependency-graph
-rw-r-xr-x 1 peda  5910 May 24  2011 edmail
-rwxr-xr-x 1 peda  4642 May 24  2011 inspect
-rw-r--r-- 1 peda  3397 May 24  2011 parse-patch
-rw-r--r-- 1 peda 18389 May 24  2011 patchfns
-rw-r--r-- 1 peda  3491 May 24  2011 remove-trailing-ws

All those files are scripts with shebangs, and I assume they
should all be chmod +x, and indeed that fixes the "quilt refresh"
problem (and a similar problem in "quilt mail" when it tries to
execute edmail).

Please fix the packaging bug.

Cheers,
Peter
