1. Bashism
----------

     The Debian Packaging Manual says: 

 12.2.4.1 If your package doesn't provide a shared library

   Put a call to dpkg-shlibs into your debian/rules file. If your package
   contains only binaries (e.g. no scripts) use:

dpkg-shlibdeps debian/tmp/usr/{bin,sbin}/*
	

     The last line should be changed to: 
          dpkg-shlibdeps debian/tmp/usr/bin/* debian/tmp/usr/sbin/*
     to eliminate the bashism 

     I am now looking for seconds for this proposal.
