Package: lsb-base Version: 3.2-28 Severity: normal At a previous time the functions in 'init-functions' were allowed to use
/bin/echo -e whereas presently they are all forced into using /bin/echo -n It would be far superior to use /bin/echo -ne as this restores to any script author the possibility of issueing structured messages using standard ecape sequences like "\b\t". Observe, that I am not talking about the shell builtin function "echo" in this report. This is so since "echo -e" is incompatible for Bash and Dash, but "/bin/echo" from "coreutils" remains identical, however the administrator has decided on the default shell.
