Package: gri-el
Version: 2.12.16-2
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 10.4

gri-el's emacsen install script uses the bashism "&>" to redirect
emacs's standard error, leading to incorrect behavior (running the
compilation in the background, racing against .el file removal) on
systems with dash as /bin/sh.  Please use the portable "2>&1"
construct instead:

    ${flavour} ${flags} ${files} >> ${LOG} 2>&1

While you're at it, please also switch to symlinking the .el file per
http://lists.debian.org/debian-emacsen/2006/10/msg00154.html .

Thanks!
