Dear release team,

please unblock package postgis, it kind of FTBFS [0]:

When rebuilding on current stretch, the SQL scripts generated start with
an escape character, rather than a backslash. This in turn prevents the
postgis extension from being newly created for a database (existing
instances would still work).

This is due to a bashism in the Makefiles generating the SQL scripts
during the build. The additional patch avoid-bashisms.patch fixes that.

Kind Regards

Markus Wanner
