In fact this issue causes the package to FTBFS with perl 5.22, as
seen here (amongst many of the other tests):

./test_checkbashisms
test_531327
ASSERT:error output of ../scripts/checkbashisms.pl bashisms/531327.sh
 expected:<> but was:<Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated, passed throug
h in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/

...

Ran 45 tests.

FAILED (failures=38)
make[2]: *** [test] Error 1
Makefile:2: recipe for target 'test' failed

Cheers,
Dominic.
