Hi,

As mentioned at <http://bugs.debian.org/582952>, seed fails to
build from source with dash from experimental as /bin/sh because
the configure script gets a bit confused, ending with

	make[3]: Entering directory `/home/jrn/src/seed/modules/canvas'
	  CC     libseed_canvas_la-seed-canvas.lo
	seed-canvas.c:21:19: fatal error: cairo.h: No such file or directory
	compilation terminated.

You can reproduce this with dash from sid (which the configure script
would normally reject for lack of $LINENO support) with

	CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/sh debian/rules build

The upstream bug has details and a patch (s/ == / = /, basically).
I'm filing the same bug here so there is a bug to block 582952 with
(so $LINENO support doesn't accidentally migrate to dash in sid too
early).

Thanks for keeping the GNOME stack nicely maintained.
