Lintian is spotting a few issues with inkscape trunk. Numerous python extension scripts are being installed as executables, but do not contain #! markers, meaning that they can be directly executed by the user but the system will try to run them as sh scripts and will fail.
We've had a similar issue to this previously. We should add #! markers to everything that is supposed to be directly executable. Everything else should be changed from "extension_SCRIPTS" to "module_DATA". Even better, I guess we should use a _PYTHON automake rule to ensure that the modules are byte-compiled.
