Michael, thanks for telling me about checkbashisms. I did not know about that tool before.
After reviewing extra/rennum.sh and debian/patches/bashism, I no longer feel that changing the interpreter is no longer needed. debian/patches/bashism takes care of changing the interpreter in extra/massscale.sh to /bin/bash. This means that we no longer have any significant Ubuntu changes that need to be kept. I have tested and verified that the Debian 1.0.2-3 package builds successfully in an Intrepid pbuilder, and I am changing this bug report to be a sync request.
