Are you sure bash is needed? For what? I don't see an init script being
installed.

Please use the github macro, since they haven't uploaded their own
tarball.

The license is actually GPL-2.0+

This doesn't work, because it puts the stuff that normally go into
/usr/share into /share, and so the manpages are still on the target as
they are not located at the usual /usr/share/man location.

├── share
│   ├── doc
│   │   └── mstpd
│   │       └── README.VLANs
│   └── man
│       ├── man5
│       │   └── mstpctl-utils-interfaces.5.gz
│       └── man8
│           └── mstpctl.8.gz

Would it be possible instead to fix things so that it can be installed
into /usr/sbin ?

Thanks!

Thomas
