Thaanks.
I'm not a fan of this kind of approach. It makes the debian/rules
very verbose to no good effect.
Surely it is better just to use
SHELL=/bin/bash
?
I haven't simply uploaded such a change myself yet because I haven't
checked that the only bashism which is causing problems is in
debian/rules rather than for example in other Makefiles, and because I
haven't tested it. But if SHELL=/bin/bash works I would prefer that
fix.

Ian.
