All Debian packaging scripts should be written to the posix shell,

Nonsense, here are just two portable ways,
1. if ls /usr/share/emacs/*/site-lisp/mailcrypt/ 2>/dev/null >&2
then
: "glob succeeded"
else
: "glob failed"
fi
2. glob=$(echo /usr/share/emacs/*/site-lisp/mailcrypt/)
if test "/usr/share/emacs/*/site-lisp/mailcrypt/" = "${glob}"
then
: "glob failed"
else
: "glob succeeded"
fi
