Bug#235981: libxmuu1: postinst script bails out because of non-posix syntax
Package: libxmuu1
Version: 4.3.0-3
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
this applies to a lot of other xfree-4.3 packages as well, actually.
many postinst scripts contain a construct like
msg=$(cat <<EOF
foo
bar
EOF)
the problem is the closing paren on the same line as EOF - it has to be
on a line of its own.
