incompatible regex in is_usb_device

Bug Description

The is_usb_device() function in /scripts/casper greps for "ID_PATH=(usb|pci-[^-]*-usb)". This is an extended regex and egrep has to be used instead of grep.

The symptom is that I could not run edgy desktop from a usb stick instead of from a cd.

I have tried the patch and it works just fine, so now the live system will completely boot. The bug #58730 is solved for me.

This has been fixed in the Debian package 1.66+debian-1, by using grep -E (and not egrep).

  [ Tollef Fog Heen ]
  * Use grep -E in scripts/casper. Malone: #57620
  * Fix syntax error in accessibility script

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Run 'sh -n' over everything in build target to avoid future syntax
    errors.
  * Fix check for /etc/default/console-setup (closes: Malone #62775).
