As an experiment (before working on a package myself) I am trying to rebuild the hello binary package. Source is from hello_1.3-13; running "debian/rules build" compiles fine, but "debian/rules binary-arch" gives, after a while,
dpkg --build debian/tmp .. dpkg-deb: building package `hello' in `../hello_1.3-13_i386.deb'. dpkg-deb: maintainer script `postinst' has bad permissions 700 (must be >=0555 and <=0775) make: *** [binary-arch] Error 2 Seems a bit strange; 0555 <= 700 <= 0775 as far as I can see.
