I was surprised to find that brace expansion isn't in Single Unix Spec
(http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908799/xcu/shellix.html);
a google search for "brace expansion" suggests that the feature is
specific to bash and zsh.
I attach a patch. (Only debian/rules is affected.)
I've checked that the new package builds (with /bin/sh linked to dash)
and that the resulting wacom-tools binary doesn't contain the three
files /usr/lib/libwacomcfg.{a,la,so}. No other testing done.
Perhaps lintian should use checkbashisms.
pjrm.
