Neither t/maintscript nor t/buildsystems/parallel.mk are executable in
the debhelper source, so they should not be run during 'make test'.  And
I cannot reproduce this either.

I suspect that t/maintscript should actually be executable, but it never
has been.  As for t/buildsystems/parallel.mk, it is an auxiliary file.
