Alternatively, you could rewrite debian/rules so that it does not use
bashisms. With a little bit of care, debian/rules does not become a
lot longer.
The following patch works for me:
diff -ru userv-1.0.3.orig/debian/rules userv-1.0.3/debian/rules

It could be made even shorter if you use install -m 755 for the
maintainer scripts instead of cp followed by chmod.
Shell scripts using /bin/sh are a *lot* faster when sh is dash.
IMHO, if we could all get used to write portable sh code, it would be
better for everybody in the long term.
Thanks.
