I'm unable to reproduce this behavior with 0.4.0-12 (just uploaded), with
either dash or bash as /bin/sh, except in one particular circumstance: when
the build failed during the compile stage.  By inducing one (e.g. by
introducing a syntax error in a source file), I can reproduce the identical
failure using either bash or dash.  quelcom has plenty of compiler warnings,
but no errors until gcc-4.3 (the 0.4.0-12 quelcom upload fixes those), which I
assume your test wasn't using.

I don't see a compilation failure during the build in your log, but if one had
occurred, the resulting behavior would have caused a chain of failure ending
in the expansion of the glob "q*" at a point where it will mis-expand to a
bogus name and break the build.  The quelcom makefiles are fairly fragile and
implement their recursion via shell loops executed without early aborts, so if
a compile error had happened we might see this sort of failure under any
shell.  Again, I don't see any other notable errors in your dash build, but
can't reproduce it any other way.

In 0.4.0-12 I've slightly adjusted the debian/rules to be more verbose, which
may provide a bit more information if the problem be visible with that
version.
