Notably, /bin/sh in Debian and Ubuntu is dash, which doesn't.

Sorry, I'd misinterpreted the error produced when grep fails (fixed by patch 1/2). Recent dash versions do support test -a, so patch 2/2 turns out to be unnecessary on current Debian, although it might conceivably be useful for backports to older Ubuntu versions.

Yeah, the patch is still useful. I applied it with added "older" word in the changelog.

thanks,
