    Searching for symbolic links:

    No symbolic links were found, so we wont make an installation script.
    You can make your own later in ./install/doinst.sh and rebuild the
    package if you like.

    This next step is optional - you can set the directories in your package
    to some sane permissions. If any of the directories in your package have
    special permissions, then DO NOT reset them here!

    Would you like to reset all directory permissions to 755 (drwxr-xr-x) and
    directory ownerships to root.root ([y]es, [n]o)? n
