Hello maintainer,

While performing an archive wide checkbashisms (from the 'devscripts' package) 
check I've found your package containing a /bin/sh script making 
use of a bashism.

checkbashisms' output:
> possible bashism in ./usr/bin/opcontrol line 521 (local foo=bar):
>         local i=1
> possible bashism in ./usr/bin/opcontrol line 648 (local foo=bar):
>                         local possibleval=$1

Not using bash (or a Debian Policy conformant shell interpreter which doesn't 
provide such an extra feature) as /bin/sh is likely to lead to errors or 
unexpected behaviours. 

For more information please refer to the Debian Policy section 10.4 supporting 
this argument at:
