This is up to you, but I would personally consider more elegant and cleaner
to use override_dh_installexamples-arch and/or override_dh_installexamples-indep.

In fact, by looking at your debian/rules, I bet that this patch
(warning: completely untested) would fix the problem, if the chmod
is the problem:

--- a/debian/rules
+++ b/debian/rules
@@ -151,7 +151,7 @@ override_dh_auto_install:
 override_dh_installchangelogs:
         dh_installchangelogs HISTORY.TXT

-override_dh_installexamples:
+override_dh_installexamples-arch:
        dh_installexamples

        chmod a-x $(CURDIR)/debian/php*-mapscript/usr/share/doc/php*-mapscript/examples/*.phtml


So, for arch-independent packages, dh_installexamples works, by
default, and for arch-dependent packages (including php*-mapscript),
dh_installexamples works and then your chmod.
