Totally, sorry, I overlooked that!  However, I would use `sh` to invoke the
script to keep the setup independent of Debian.  It might be more
future-proof to use `chmod +x foo.sh; ./foo.sh` but I generally try to me
rather explicit when writing code.  Please let me know if you have any
preferences there (`chmod ...` vs. `sh ...`) -- I'm happy to follow these
guidelines :)

Hehe -- I'm glad I could spark something there :D  So far, Travis CI is
somewhat limited when it comes to customised setups.  Current limitations
seem to:  no Windows, no 32bit and no native ARM.  Workarounds in the form
of docker images exist for some things but I'm not sure if they cover all
issues that could arise when working "natively" on these platforms.  As for
Windows, AppVeyor might be an alternative.  In general, however, I think
that only self-hosted solutions (Azure + Jenkins etc) could really guarantee
a proper setup to test builds on all thinkable platforms.
All that being said, Travis CI is amazing for what it is:  there are
(almost) no limitations to what they let you compute on Debian Machines and
Macs -- no matter what space, time, or bandwidth.
