[ovs-dev] Bug#690712: openvswitch-datapath-dkms: bashism in /bin/sh script

Hello maintainer,

While performing an archive wide checkbashisms (from the 'devscripts' 
package) check I've found your package containing a /bin/sh script making 
use of a bashism.

checkbashisms' output:
>possible bashism in

> line 181 (alternative test command ([[ foo ]] should be [ foo ])):
>if [[ $# -lt 2 ]]; then

Not using bash (or a Debian Policy conformant shell interpreter which 
doesn't provide such an extra feature) as /bin/sh is likely to lead to 
errors or unexpected behaviours.
