The doc-base documentation isn't horribly clear, so right now lintian is
erring on the side of caution and assuming that "shell globs" only means
something that works with a POSIX shell. {} globs are a bashism (or
possibly a Kornish, but either way, same effect), so the warning is
currently intentional.
I'm happy to change lintian if the doc-base specification intended to
allow this, but right now it's really unclear. The right course of action
may be to reassign this bug to doc-base (or to both doc-base and lintian)
and ask the doc-base maintainer to clarify the specification.
