Hi,
I've ran checkbashisms (from the 'devscripts' package) over the whole
archive and I found that your package has a /bin/sh script that uses a
"bashism".
checkbashisms' output:
> possible bashism in ./lib/live/boot/9990-mount-iscsi.sh line 39 (echo -e):
> echo -ne $i\\r
> possible bashism in ./lib/live/boot/9990-misc-helpers.sh line 624 (read
> with option other than -r):
> read -s passphrase
Not using bash (or a Debian Policy compliant shell interpreter that doesn't
provide such an extra feature) as /bin/sh is likely to lead to errors or
unexpected behaviours. Please be aware that dash is the default /bin/sh.
Please closely examine the above output and the script, and determine
what the proper severity of the bug is, and adjust it accordingly. If
it's important or greater please hurry to get this fixed for jessie.

Thanks in advance,

the 'affected' code is run by busybox within initramfs, not on the main
system, where it's ok to use mentioned things, hence closing.
