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 ./etc/init.d/lirc line 15 (local foo=bar):
> local MODULES_MISSING=false
> possible bashism in ./etc/init.d/lirc line 45 (local foo=bar):
> local ARGS="$*"
Not using bash as /bin/sh is likely to lead to errors or unexpected
behaviours.
Please be aware that although
bash is currently the default /bin/sh there's a release goal for Lenny to
make dash the default /bin/sh[1].
If you want more information about dash as /bin/sh, you can read:

HINT: sometimes these bugs are already fixed in Ubuntu, look at the PTS
