Hello maintainer,

While performing an archive wide checkbashisms (from the 'devscripts' package) 
check I've found your package containing several /bin/sh scripts making 
use of a bashism.

checkbashisms' output:
> possible bashism in ./usr/bin/kexi_add_column_gui line 23 ('function' is
> useless): function setup_messages {
> possible bashism in ./usr/bin/kexi_delete_column line 21 ('function' is
> useless): function usage {

Not using bash as /bin/sh would lead to errors. Please be aware that although 
bash is currently the default /bin/sh there's a release goal for Lenny to 
make dash the default /bin/sh[1].

If you want more information about dash as /bin/sh, you can read:
