[DebianGIS-dev] Bug#530092: grass: bashism in /bin/sh script

remaining issues raised in this bug report still to be dealt with
(AFAICT):

if this is considered a problem maybe add a dpatch to rip out that check?
All it does it assume ARM means you have a small device+screen and so the
default window size is a little smaller. If it fails due to dash being
used (perhaps not an unusual occurance on embedded ARM systems) it just
falls back to the initial default window size of 640x480. Personally
I'd be inclined to just leave it as-is.
