Bug#471873: live-helper: bashism in /bin/sh script



Package: live-helper
Severity: normal
Version: 1.0~a40-1
Usertags: bashisms

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/bin/lh_binary_debian-installer line 115 (local
> foo=bar): local FILE="${1}"
> possible bashism in ./usr/bin/lh_binary_debian-installer line 116 (local
> foo=bar): local TARGET="${2}"

Not using bash as /bin/sh is likely to lead to errors or unexpected 
behaviours. 

For more information please refer to the Debian Policy section 10.4 supporting 
this argument at:
