[Bug 57340] beagle-search uses bashism but invokes sh

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: beagle

/usr/bin/beagle-search starts with "#!/usr/bin/bash" but then on the
last line uses "exec -a foo".  The "-a" option is bash specific.  Or
more specifically in my experience it is not supported by dash (which is
supposed to be POSIX complient or so).

So either the shell should be changed or the -a option should be changed
IMHO.

Cheers
