Description
The current svn (r243) fails to build a Debian package, using both dpkg-buildpackage as well as debian/rules binary.
The problem with the last few commits is that the install target in scripts/Makefile.in does not honour $(DESTDIR), resulting in the script files being installed in the root filesystem.
Also, the directory to install in is not created, so install might fail when the script directory does not exist at installation time.
The attached patch fixes both of these issues. However, I'm not completely sure this is the right approach. The same Makefile.in also defines a install-vuurmuur_scriptDATA target, which seems to do exacty what the install target should do. Why is this not used, and what is it used for?

The change was made to make sure the installed script were set to be executable, which vuurmuur_scriptDATA doesn't do. Obviously the 'fix' has it's own issues, thanks for the report.
Patches should be against Makefile.am as Makefile.in is autogenerated by 'automake'.
