Bug#913431: Debian Installer Bullseye RC 2 release

[Vincent Danjean <vdanjean@debian.org>]

  Hi Philip,

  I made a push request[1] but I missed the fact that it fails.
It was due to the tests being run with sh(dash) instead of bash or
busybox sh.
  So, I just fixed the code so that it works with any of these 3 shells
and I update the testsuite. Now, all the tests pass on salsa.

  Let me know if this is ok for you. As d-i is already in RC, if
you prefer, I can revert the longint2human part that modifies
some information, and only keep the human2longint that adds
some new input that were forbidden before (no change for what
was already accepted). The longint2human part can be added after
the release if you think it is too intrusive (or if it must be
adapted)

  Regards
    Vincent
