Bug#323897: base-config: Error is caused by extraneous \ on line 57
Package: base-config
Version: 2.70
Followup-For: Bug #323897
Because line 57 ends in a backslash, the 'do' on line 58 gets parsed as
another argument to the 'for' list, which causes the error. Remove the \
and the script runs fine.
