I think this is a false possitive. The package Build-Depends on time. So
when the time builtin is not available it will execute the time command
from /usr/bin

Please close this bug if you agree or give a more detailed hint what
should be changed. I'm a bit hesitant to use /usr/bin/time just to
shutup checkbashism.
