Bug#323098: lintian: while [[ is a bashism, [[:space:]] & co. are POSIX
Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.11
Severity: normal
The test introduced as a result of 296233 is a little overzealous,
catching valid POSIX regular expressions. The patch below fixes it,
hopefully correctly.

I think I've got them all there - check

double check.
