Bug#914559: slepc: hardcodes path to sh depending on build host

[Paul Gevers]

Package: slepc
Version: 3.9.2+dfsg1-2

Dear maintainer,

Recently your package was rebuild as part of the hdf5 transition. During
the rebuild, the buildds accidentally had a merged usr setup [1].
Although this setup has been reverted, it exposed the fact that your
package embeds the path to sh from the build host, as the autopkgtest of
your started failing [2] with the error copied below. There was a large
thread on debian-devel at l.d.o about merged usr setup due to the buildd
issue. I think your build should not rely on the location of sh in the
$PATH of the build host.

I have requested binNMUs of your package on #debian-release.

Paul
