OK, let's skip it for now.  We *are* allowed to declare that FB2 debian
packages work only on i686 and up, *if* this is actually impossible/too
hard to compile and run it on older CPUs.  Can you at least try i586? 
We should stick to the lowest working option and document it in
debian/Debian.README (remember that woody and sarge/sid use compilers
from different "ages", so it might work on Woody but not Sarge/SID)

This is normal [*] When you unpack the sources, the only executable
in ./debian/ is the "rules" file.  But when you're packaging the stuff,
it's easy to omit/forget to do "chmod +x ./debian/something" i.e. in
clean: target of debian/rules, under the assumption, that if you changed
the executable bit in your copy - it will be preserved.  AFAIR diff
format does not specify execution bits and whole ./debian content is
transported as a diff.gz after all.  This is therefore job of
dpkg-source to set the execution bit after unpacking.
