command -v in postinsts violating policy
Below is a list of packages that may use 'command -v' in their #!/bin/sh
postinsts. Section 11.4 of Policy states that /bin/sh can be a symlink
to any POSIX-compatible shell, with an exception for 'echo', and that
package #!/bin/sh scripts must not use "non-POSIX" features. Since
there is no 'command' binary in a package marked Essential,
the use of 'command -v' is a policy violation.
Other than ignoring this problem, solutions include
1) Filing 616 serious bugs against these packages so that the maintainer
can either change the script interpreter to something other than /bin/sh
or remove the offending 'command -v'
2) Amending policy with another /bin/sh exception.
3) Writing a 'command' program which will go into an Essential package,
then filing bugs against all packages that use 'command -v' without
specifying the absolute path to said 'command'.
