 Bug#954149

Screen: emacs/elpa/scripts
Advocates: David Bremner <bremner@debian.org>
Reason: The <code>emacsen-common</code> package places installation
 and removal scripts, which for ELPA packages are executable,
 in the folder <code>/usr/lib/emacsen-common/packages</code>.
 .
 About four hundred installation packages are affected. All of
 them declare <code>emacsen-common</code> as an installation
 prerequisite.

Screen: web/cgi/scripts
Advocates: Andrius Merkys <merkys@debian.org>
Reason: The folder <code>/usr/lib/cgi-bin/</code> is designated for
 scripts in the Common Gateway Interface (CGI). They require the
 executable bit so the server can run them.
