It's potentially important for any bug report involving a package
containing a shell script, if the bug report involves that shell script,
which is hard to determine in advance. There are shell scripts in just
about every package we have, given that many packages contain maintainer
scripts. It's also a single line in the bug report, so I'm having a hard
time understanding why people think it's important enough to even debate.
