Package: lintian Version: 1.23.42 Severity: wishlist Hi,
Lintian already checks for bashisms in maintainer scripts. I'd like those tests to also apply to debian/rules. A number of packages FTBFS when built with dash as /bin/sh, or produce packages with a different content. Using lintian to get a list of those would be interesting, especially since some bashisms cause non-deterministic failures. A cool example is the patch of bug #374004, which replaces a bashism that causes the build to fail with a bashism that causes "rm -rf debian/tmp" to be executed in a subshell.
