Package: ifupdown
Version: 0.6.4-4.10
Severity: wishlist

While trying to rebuild ifupdown I noticed that makenwdep.sh was
generating bogus output, e.g.

        -e defn2man.pl : ifupdown.nw
        -e      notangle -R$@ $< >$@
        -e      chmod 755 defn2man.pl

This was due to my system having /bin/sh --> /bin/dash, which is POSIX
conformant and thus does not support "-e" to echo. However, as you see
the escape sequences was indented and properly parsed.  

Adding the following line to the top of mkenwdep.sh script did the trick.

        #!/bin/bash

I'm not sure using /bin/sh and removing -e from echo works on all
/bin/sh, probably not. Best to use bash, I guess.
