Why force millions of Debian users to do this? Furthermore, some will
ignore the release notes or misread them or misunderstand them and data
loss will result.
Why inflict all this pain - all of which will reflect in bad karma for
Debian - when it's so easy for Debian to do the right thing - use
#!/bin/sh.minimal for Debian scripts and not change what users have
come to expect of /bin/sh.
