The Debian maintainer is correct, but only for Debian. The fix works
correctly for Ubuntu, since dash follows the sh behaviour and treats \n
as the newline escape character (whereas bash *requires* echo -e for
this behaviour).
The maintainer's printf fix is more correct, in that it is portable
across Debian and Ubuntu. I can't remember if I filed a Debian bug
about this or not, but it seems that I didn't. Probably because it
doesn't affect the Debian package at all, and I didn't have a Debian
system to test on at the time.
Ming, Is there any more information you require?
