Note two things here:

1) This is a _possible_ bashisms. I'm not sure wether it really is one 
or not. All instances of [ (aka. test) I tried (bash, tcsh, dash) 
supported the syntax used.

2) This is an example script in a doc package, which is unlikely to work 
  unmodified on any package users system anyway.

Severity important  is therefor highly exagerated.

I won't be marking this as wontfix for now, but I intend to do so.

Please check your bug reports before marking them with such a high severity.

Thanks.
