Dear Maintainer,

  Figuring out an error in "lintian".

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

  Issuing the script

#!/bin/dash
set -u

unset TMPDIR
echo TMPDIR is $TMPDIR

   * What was the outcome of this action?

/home/bg/bin/profa: 5: /home/bg/bin/profa: TMPDIR: parameter not set

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

  The word "variable" instead of the word "parameter".
