The shell used for the #! in /usr/lib/yp/pwupdate depends upon the
running user's shell.

  #!/bin/bash
  vs.
  #!/bin/sh


The attached patch fixes this by passing BASH=/bin/bash to the
appropriate configure script.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] debian/rules: Pass BASH=/bin/bash to the ypserv configure
 script.

In ypserv-2.19/configure, the BASH variable gets set to /bin/sh if
unset. This leads to reproducibility issues in the
/usr/lib/yp/pwupdate command which uses the value of BASH for the #!
line.
