Hello maintainer,
While performing an archive wide checkbashisms (from the 'devscripts' package)
check I've found your package containing one or more /bin/sh scripts making
use of bashisms.
checkbashisms' output:
> possible bashism in ./usr/sbin/amverify line 32 (unsafe echo with
> backslash):
> t=`echo "abc\r\c" | wc -c`
> possible bashism in ./usr/sbin/amverify line 51 (unsafe echo with
> backslash):
> echo "$1""$blanks\r\c"
Not using bash (or a Debian Policy conformant shell interpreter which does
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:

The amverify script actually discovers at runtime whether echo supports the
backslash characters usage or not, and degrades output behavior gracefully if
it does not. Thus, this isn't a true bash-ism.
