Description
The gmt_links.sh & gmt_uninstall.sh scripts don't have a shebang, but are expected to be executed as bash scripts.
This caused executable-not-elf-or-script lintian issues for the Debian package build.
The attached patch fixes the issue.

Should a similar fix be applied to share/tools/gmt_completion.bash?
I added #!/bin/csh to the two cshell scripts. OK?

No, you must not add the shebang to any script that has to be sourced and changes the environment of the current shell. With the shebang a subshell is started and you would break the feature.

OK, gmt_completion.bash was left alone. How about the csh scripts - OK to have them include #!/bin/csh?

Which ones do you mean?

I think Paul referred to ./share/tools/gmt_aliases.csh
That too is a file that needs to be sourced, so no shebang.
Fixed in r15208
