Bug#1024288: apcupsd: reproducible-builds: embedded path to "sh" may differ

[Vagrant Cascadian]

Source: apcupsd
Severity: important
Tags: patch
User: reproducible-builds at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: usrmerge
X-Debbugs-Cc: reproducible-bugs at lists.alioth.debian.org

The path to the "sh" binary differs depending on if it is built in an
environment with or without usrmerge:

  https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/bookworm/amd64/diffoscope-results/apcupsd.html

  /etc/apcupsd/apccontrol

  #!/bin/sh
  vs.
  #!/usr/bin/sh

The attached patch fixes this in debian/rules by passing the SCRIPTSHELL
variable in the dh_auto_configure override, using the most compatible
path.

According to my local tests, With this patch applied apcupsd should build
reproducibly on tests.reproducible-builds.org!

Thanks for maintaining apcupsd!

live well,
  vagrant
