Package: gcl
Version: 2.6.7-18
Severity: important
Justification: Policy 10.4

Hi,

There was a problem while autobuilding your package:

> Automatic build of gcl_2.6.7-18 on saturne by sbuild/amd64 85
> Build started at 20060828-1534
> ******************************************************************************

[...]

>  /usr/bin/fakeroot debian/rules clean
> rm -f ${debian/control.rm%.rm}
> /bin/sh: Syntax error: Bad substitution
> make: *** [debian/control.rm] Error 2
> ******************************************************************************
> Build finished at 20060828-1536
> FAILED [dpkg-buildpackage died] 

${debian/control.rm%.rm} is not POSIX, and this make the build fail if
you're not using bash as sh.
