Package: lintian Severity: wishlist See #912910 - I think these situations could easily be detected by lintian, and marked with an E-tag when d/rules doesn't.

bad bad bad:
for var in $(things_to_to_loop_on); do \
$(whatever); \
done
"good":
set -e ; for var in $(things_to_to_loop_on); do \
$(whatever); \
done
Note however that the set -e could be omitted if one has
SHELL=sh -e
or
.SHELLFLAGS=-ec
or similar (even if *personally* I find using such means somewhat
obscure).
