In the packages.conf example file, it says that "wildcards supported by 'cp'
are allowed". But cp doesn't support wildcards, bash does.

And? bash is being called, explicitly, so nothing changes.
Anything that bash can support is supported in the line given in
packages.conf because bash is what is being called explicitly. There's
plenty of documentation that it is bash being called.
I'm not going to complicate the instructions unnecessarily. It is
pedantry without reason.
The bug is closed and that's and end to it.
Thanks.
