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
