These are perl-modules, which must NOT be executable nor do they need a
she-bang.

No, it doesn't have one. mksplit is a script.


But there are other issues with your package:

1) It is wrong to rename install-info/cleanup-info. These are different tools
than the ones in Fedora and must be installed to /usr/sbin, otherwise dpkg will
not work.

2) Installing dpkg's (dpkg-)update-alternatives daemon doesn't make any sense
on Fedora, because these are provided by other packages in Fedora.

3) Packaging (dpkg-)start-stop-daemon also hardly makes sense. I recommend to
not building nor installing it. (%configure --without-start-stop-daemon)
