Bug#344266: lintian: false positive bashism

[Frank Küster <frank@debian.org>]

Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.14
Severity: normal

Lintian reports the following line (in tex-common's postinst) as a
bashism, but of course it's just a pattern found in some configuration
file: 

    if ! echo "$line" | grep -q '{fonts/map,}/{\$progname,pdftex,dvips,}//'; then

There should be some way to detect that this is a pattern fed to grep
(similar to echo, sed, perl, ...).

Regards, Frank
