Bug#236106: xserver-xfree86_4.3.0-3_i386.deb is uninstallable with Almquist Shell

["Doehner, Ulrich" <Ulrich.Doehner@drkw.com>]

Package: xserver-xfree86
Version: 4.3.0-3
last working version: 4.3.0-2

Problem:
	config script claims /bin/sh, but really requires /bin/bash.
	When run with /bin/sh -> dash, the config script
	breaks down.

Transcript:
	$ ls -l /bin/sh
		lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            4 Mar  4 11:01 /bin/sh -> dash
	$ ./config
		./config: 1703: Syntax error: end of file unexpected (expecting ")")
	$ echo $?
		2

Workaround:
	$ rm /bin/sh
	$ ln -s bash /bin/sh
	$ ls -l /bin/sh
		lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            4 Mar  4 11:01 /bin/sh -> bash
	$ ./config
	$ echo $?
		0

Configuration:
