Bug#36552: gratuitous introduction of bashisms in devpts.sh

[Zack Weinberg <zack@rabi.columbia.edu>]

Package: libc6
Version: 2.1.1-1

This is the diff between devpts.sh from 2.1.1-0.2 and 2.1.1-1:

+               if ! [ -d /dev/pts ]; then
                    mkdir /dev/pts
                    chmod 755 /dev/pts
                fi

The change makes absolutely no difference in the semantics of the
script AFAICT, but "if ! ..." is a bash extension which should not be
used in init scripts.  What was wrong with the old version?
