Ah yes, the use of == instead of =. 

Richard, if you ever do (or already have) a bashisms check for lintian,
adding a test for this to it would be a nice idea (a check for \[.*\s==\s
in shell scripts would probably do).

A few other packages that probably have this problem (ugh, most of them mine
- fixing now..):

bsdgames-nonfree.postrm:if [ "$1" == "purge" ]; then
cxhextris.postrm:if [ "$1" == "purge" ]; then
emacsen-common.postrm:if [ $1 == purge ]
fvwm2.postinst:if ($#ARGV == 1 && $ARGV[0] eq "configure" && $ARGV[1] ne "")
gltt2.postinst:if [ "$1" == "configure" ]; then
gravitywars.postrm:if [ "$1" == "purge" ]; then
inewsinn.postinst:      if ($usenet == 0) {
iptraf.postrm:if [ $1 == purge ]; then
maelstrom.postrm:if test "$1" == "purge"; then
makedev.postinst:                       if let "$MAJOR == 4" ; then
rvplayer.postinst:      if [ "$1" == "configure" ]; then
spamdb.postinst:if [ "$1" == "configure" ]; then
thrust.postrm:if [ "$1" == "purge" ]; then
xaw-wrappers.prerm:if [ "$1" == "remove" ]; then
xboing.postrm:if [ "$1" == "purge" ]; then
xemacs20-nomule.postinst:if [ "$ALREADY" == "0" ] ; then
xemeraldia.postrm:if [ "$1" == "purge" ]; then
xjewel.postrm:if [ "$1" == "purge" ]; then
xtrojka.postrm:if [ "$1" == "purge" ]; then
