Nitpicking: * dh_undocumented should not be used any more (actually it is a NOOP since debhelper 4.1.30 anyway): | upgrading_checklist for policy 3.5.8.0 | - It is no longer recommended to create symlinks from nonexistent | manual pages to undocumented(7). Missing manual pages for programs | are still a bug. [12.1] Urgs: ------------------------------ - echo -e ",s/RUNFROM=.*/RUNFROM=$RET/\nw" \ + + # when dash is /bin/sh, echo -e is the default and the option -e is + # printed, so remove the -e and turn -e behaviour on 'by default' + # for bash as well. + shopt -s xpg_echo 2>/dev/null || true + echo ",s/RUNFROM=.*/RUNFROM=$RET/\nw" \ ------------------------------ I am rather fluent in sh, but need to look up "shopt -s xpg_echo". This is tooo ugly. Just use - echo -e ",s/RUNFROM=.*/RUNFROM=$RET/\nw" \ + printf ",s/RUNFROM=.*/RUNFROM=$RET/\nw\n" \ or grab the patch from the bts and use sed instead of ed (you'll need to depend on sed >=3.95). cu andreas PS: Personally I'd switch to Debhelper compatibility 4 instead of 1, too. This would get rid of debian/conffiles.
