Bug#690721: linux-kbuild-3.2: bashism in /bin/sh script

Package: linux-kbuild-3.2
Version: 3.2.17-1
Severity: important

Hello maintainer,

While performing an archive wide checkbashisms (from the 'devscripts' 
package) check I've found your package containing a /bin/sh script making 
use of a bashism.

checkbashisms' output:
>possible bashism in ./usr/lib/linux-kbuild-3.2/scripts/setlocalversion line 
90 (should be 'b = a'):
>                if [ "`hg log -r . --template '{latesttagdistance}'`" ==
>                "1" ]; then

Not using bash (or a Debian Policy conformant shell interpreter which 
doesn't provide such an extra feature) as /bin/sh is likely to lead to 
errors or unexpected behaviours.
