No, Debian.

| octave-debuginfo.x86_64: W:
| spurious-executable-perm 
/usr/src/debug/octave-3.5.90/liboctave/singleton-cleanup.h
| octave-debuginfo.x86_64: E:
| incorrect-fsf-address /usr/src/debug/octave-3.5.90/src/gl2ps.h
| octave-debuginfo.x86_64: W:
| spurious-executable-perm /usr/src/debug/octave-3.5.90/liboctave/oct-locbuf.h
| octave-debuginfo.x86_64: E:
| incorrect-fsf-address /usr/src/debug/octave-3.5.90/src/gl2ps.c

I fixed the file permissions.

We just import the gl2ps.c and gl2ps.h files from the gl2ps project,
so I think the right place to fix that is in their sources.  Could
someone please do that?  http://geuz.org/gl2ps/

Thanks,
