Hello maintainer,
While performing an archive wide checkbashisms (from the 'devscripts' package)
check I've found your package containing one or more /bin/sh scripts making
use of bashisms.
checkbashisms' output:
> possible bashism in ./etc/init.d/xdebconfigurator line 50 ($"foo" should be
> eval_gettext "foo"):
> echo $"Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart|force-reload|status}"
Not using bash (or a Debian Policy conformant shell interpreter which does
provide such an extra feature) as /bin/sh is likely to lead to errors or
unexpected behaviours.
Please be aware that although bash is currently the default /bin/sh there's a
release goal for Lenny to make dash the default /bin/sh[1].
If you want more information about dash as /bin/sh, you can read:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2008/01/msg00189.html
For more information please refer to the Debian Policy section 10.4 supporting
this argument at:
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-files.html#s-scripts
Hints about how to fix bashisms:
Sometimes these bugs are already fixed in Ubuntu, look at the PTS.
If not already fixed you can read:

Description:
xdebconfigurator - A script used with debconf to autoconfigure xserver-xorg
Closes: 286668 305423 305426 418746 486061
Changes:
xdebconfigurator (1.34) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Rewrite how ddcprobe output is processed, to handle all listed
resolutions and fetch monitor frequence.
* Add example output from ddcprobe on a few machines.
* Add support for xresprobe, and prefer it over ddcprobe. Recommend
it instead of read-edid (Closes: #286668, #305423, #305426,
#418746).
* Rewrite handling of the monitor database
(/usr/share/hwdata/MonitorsDB), to use the values there if the
eisa ID is there. This allow us to override monitors with
incorrect DDC information.
* Start on our own MonitorsDB file, to allow us to include our own
override values, and also use a file in /etc/ for site specific
overrides.
* Remove obsolete base-config fragments.
* Updated standards-version to 3.8.0.
* Avoid bashism in init.d script (Closes: #486061).
