i recall it being incorrect in some cases (it checked for what dash supports, not what POSIX supports), but that was a while ago, so maybe my experience is dated at this point. otherwise, integrating it sounds sane to me, and if we can push fixes back to debian, even better. a repoman check on files in files/ would be useful as well i'd think -mike
