i got the following info for the warnings

N:   This executable file is not an ELF format binary, and does not start
N:   with the #! sequence that marks interpreted scripts. It might be a sh
N:   script that fails to name /bin/sh as its shell, or it may be
N:   incorrectly marked as executable. Sometimes upstream files developed
N:   on Windows are marked unnecessarily as executable on other systems.
N:
N:   If you are using debhelper to build your package, running dh_fixperms
N:   will often correct this problem for you.
N:
N:   Refer to Debian Policy Manual section 10.4 (Scripts) for details.
N:
N:   Severity: normal, Certainty: certain
