POSIX command substitution

The following patch updates to use POSIX[1] command substitution $() in
place of backtics (``).

Motivation:

- The $() is recommend by many[2]. E.g it nests easily
- Readability. In high resolution display a "tick" is hard to see. Selected
  font may also make reading the "tick" difficult.
- Keyboards may have the tick key in an unnatural position that makes
  it hard to type. E.g acrobatics is needed with FI-keyboard
  (AltGr+key+Space char)

It's only worth making this change if we're changing something else
nearby in the file anyway; otherwise many users will get a dpkg conffile
prompt for a fairly abstract benefit.
