Hello.

I received the attached patch from the Debian bug system. It was taken 
from sharutils git repository and it allows to pass a value for 
POSIX_SHELL in the ./configure call. We need this for the usrmerge 
transition.

I plan to apply the patch mostly "as is" to the Debian source package, 
but as a result, I have to regenerate autoconf files during the package 
build. Some people do that as a normal thing, but I prefer to do that 
only when it's really necessary, so it would be more simple if there was 
a new sharutils release from upstream. Are there any plans for that?

After all, the last release was made in 2015, and there are even some 
CVE which are still not part of the last stable release.

Thanks.
