Thank you, that helps a lot.

However, I still think that if Makedefs.in requests /bin/sh for the
shell, and then we end up using bash-only features, then that is not
quite right. All it takes is changing one line, and librep builds
without any surprises (dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot):

--- a/Makedefs.in
+++ b/Makedefs.in
@@ -20,7 +20,7 @@

 version=@version@
 libversion=@libversion@
-SHELL=/bin/sh
+SHELL=/bin/bash

Is there any reason that that this is not desired behaviour?

Sincerely,

Rafal Kolanski.
