thanks

Problem is that Debian uses dash instead of sh as the default shell.
dash, in contrast to just about any other sh implementation or sh
replacement, does not understand the echo -e option and simply prints
it literally. I'll have to replace the echo -e calls with printf calls
to make the code portable to dash.
