I suspect a better fix is to convert the package to use 'dh' first. I tried the trivial conversion but it did not work because the configure script do not understand --runstatedir=/run. I just converted the packaging to git and made it available in <URL: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/pexec > if you want to update the package yourself. -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen
