Sorry but I'm a ksh/mksh user since some years ago, so I'm not in love with bash ;-)
My only concern is with a program/library, that using auto*/libtool, relies on some bashism. That is the reason to be more careful :-)
One could say that bash is the standard shell in Linux, just like for some people vim is the standard editor.

Well since we are a source-based distribution, every time you upgrade
something. As Juergen said, if you have bashism in your scripts -
shebang it to #!/bin/bash!
I have to say I'm surprised by the short memory people seems to have. A
year ago everyone wanted to get rid of bash due to a few security holes
and now everyone seems to love it again :-)

Good practice anyways :)
