The configure script sets the BASH variable to /bin/sh when run on a
usrmerge system, resulting in the pwupdate script differing between
builds:

  
https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/unstable/amd64/diffoscope-results/ypserv.html

  ./usr/lib/yp/pwupdate
  
  #!/bin/bash
  vs.
  #!/bin/sh


Patch attached which passes BASH=/bin/bash to configure, to ensure a
consistent build regardless of if it is built on a usrmerge system.


Thanks for maintaining ypserv!

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] debian/rules: Pass BASH variable to configure.

The configure script records the path to "bash" as /bin/sh when built
on a usrmerge system. Consistently use /bin/bash as this is the most
compatible path and avoids assumptions about the shell.
