I've just had a look at this—without the chmod change I get [the following error](http://lintian.debian.org/tags/non-standard-file-permissions-for-etc-init.d-script.html) from `lintian`:

```
E: name: non-standard-file-permissions-for-etc-init.d-script etc/init.d/test 0644 != 0755
```
I'm using the Vagrant boxes that I replaced in the `Vagrantfile` because I wasn't able to download the ones that were there. The machine I'm using has the following version of lintian:

```
$ lintian --version
Lintian v2.5.10.4
$ lsb_release -a
