Hello maintainer,
While performing an archive wide checkbashisms (from the 'devscripts' package)
check I've found your package containing A/SEVERAL /bin/sh script/S making
use of a bashism.
checkbashisms' output:
> possible bashism in ./usr/sbin/cron-apt line 294 ($RANDOM):
> TIME=$(($RANDOM % $RUNSLEEP))
Not using bash as /bin/sh would lead to errors. Please be aware that although
bash is currently the default /bin/sh there's a release goal for Lenny to
make dash the default /bin/sh[1].
If you want more information about dash as /bin/sh, you can read:

Hi
This is actually handled bu setting this veriable from /dev/urandom if
it contains an empty value.
if [ -z "$RANDOM" ] ; then
# A fix for shells that do not have this bash feature.
RANDOM=$(dd if=/dev/urandom count=1 2> /dev/null | cksum | cut
-c"1\-5")
fi
TIME=$(($RANDOM % $RUNSLEEP))
Thanks anyway for the report.
Best regards,
// Ola
