Subject: dpkg: bashism in Packaging Manual
Date: Sun, 9 Nov 1997 21:19:23 -0500 (EST)
Package: dpkg
Version: 1.4.0.19

The Debian Packaging Manual says:

    12.2.4.1 If your package doesn't provide a shared library

   Put a call to dpkg-shlibs into your debian/rules file. If your package
   contains only binaries (e.g. no scripts) use:
dpkg-shlibdeps debian/tmp/usr/{bin,sbin}/*

The last line could be changed to:

dpkg-shlibdeps debian/tmp/usr/bin/* debian/tmp/usr/sbin/*

to eliminate the bashism
