Hello maintainer,
While performing an archive wide checkbashisms (from the 'devscripts' package)
check I've found your package containing a /bin/sh script making
use of a bashism.
checkbashisms' output:
> possible bashism in ./usr/bin/wnb line 112 (should be '.', not 'source'):
> source $configfile
Not using bash as /bin/sh would lead to errors or unexpected behaviours.
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:

I apologise for this report, it really looked like a bashism (which of
course only applies to shell code and not to g/awk, sed, etc, etc)
