[Bug 570243] [NEW] initramfs-tools and casper should use shell syntax checking in check target

[Evan Dandrea]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: initramfs-tools

Ubiquity does the following in make check:
        # Check the syntax of any shell scripts.
        set -e; for x in $$(find -type f -print0 | xargs -0 file -i | grep "text/x-shellscript" | cut -d':' -f1); do \
                sh -n $$x; \
        done

As casper and initramfs-tools could stand to benefit from such a
safeguard, they should make use of it as well.
