Hello,
handle_bug uses the bashism "export -f" to pass on the _functions_ it
defines to the bash-subshell executing the
/usr/share/bug/package/script. I am not aware of a possibilty to
"export functions" in POSIX sh. However, you could do a away with
the subshell

if /usr/share/bug/package/script is a shell script. You'd need to
test whether it is a shell script, e.g. by parsing the !#-line.
If you think this is to be too ugly or fragile please document that
/usr/share/bug/package/script must use "#!/bin/bash" if it wants to
make use of getkey or yesno.
thanks, cu andreas
