Hello maintainer,

While performing an archive wide checkbashisms (from the 'devscripts' 
package) check I've found your package containing a /bin/sh script making 
use of a bashism.

checkbashisms' output:
>possible bashism in ./usr/share/cmake/fcitx/fcitx-cmake-helper.sh line 71
>(alternative test command ([[ foo ]] should be [ foo ])):
>    if [[ -z "${stdin_file}" ]]; then

Not using bash (or a Debian Policy conformant shell interpreter which 
doesn't provide such an extra feature) as /bin/sh is likely to lead to 
errors or unexpected behaviours.

You can find hints about how to fix bashisms at:

Thank you,
Raphael Geissert
