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/bookman line 64 (alternative test command ([[
> foo ]] should be [ foo ])): [[ $1 ]] || set -- $(while read; do echo
> $REPLY; done)
> possible bashism in ./usr/bin/bookman line 64 (should be read [-r]
> variable): [[ $1 ]] || set -- $(while read; do echo $REPLY; done)
> possible bashism in ./usr/bin/bookman line 66 (alternative test command ([[
> foo ]] should be [ foo ])): [[ $outfile ]] && post="$post >$outfile"
> possible bashism in ./usr/bin/bookman line 73 (alternative test command ([[
> foo ]] should be [ foo ])): [[ -f $cover ]] && cat $cover || {

Not using bash (or a Debian Policy conformant shell interpreter which doesn't 
provide such an extra feature) as /bin/sh is likely to 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:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2008/01/msg00189.html

For more information please refer to the Debian Policy section 10.4 supporting 
this argument at:
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-files.html#s-scripts

Hints about how to fix bashisms:
Sometimes these bugs are already fixed in Ubuntu, look at the PTS.
If not already fixed you can read:
