Hi,

Lintian already checks for bashisms in maintainer scripts. I'd like
those tests to also apply to debian/rules. A number of packages FTBFS
when built with dash as /bin/sh, or produce packages with a different
content.

Using lintian to get a list of those would be interesting, especially
since some bashisms cause non-deterministic failures. A cool example is
the patch of bug #374004, which replaces a bashism that causes the build
to fail with a bashism that causes "rm -rf debian/tmp" to be executed in
a subshell. (!)

Hello. Please consider also checking debian/*.init shell scripts for
bashisms.
