It's been a wishlist bug in lintian for eons.  What needs to happen from
the lintian perspective is to refactor check/scripts to pull the code for
checking for bashisms into a module, and then apply that same code to
check other shell scripts and to the (detabbed) shell constructs in
debian/rules.  Getting the interface to the module right may be a little
tricky.

lintian shouldn't depend on checkbashisms.  It already has its own
implementation of this code (which from this thread is actually better).
