Subject: libpam0g.postinst uses /bin/bash instead of /bin/sh
Message-ID: <20090316144823.14070.17995.reportbug@localhost>

Package: libpam0g
Version: 1.0.1-7
Severity: normal

The title says it all: the postinst script (for version 1.0.1-7) uses
#!/bin/bash" without specifying a dependency on the `bash' package,
and apparently unnecessarily because replacing it with /bin/sh (which
in my case is dash) seemed to make it work just fine.  I think those
scripts should refrain from using bash(isms).
