/me coughs in the direction of devscripts' Uploaders field (I'm assuming you'd noticed, but just in case :-) Assuming "not-POSIX-but-supported-by-policy" checkbashisms already has a flag to indicate whether "echo -n" should be flagged for exactly this reason; otherwise it errs on the side of not flagging constructs that are policy-compliant.
