I am about to upload csh-5.26-1 which will provide the virtual package
c-shell. The binary is about 100kB (1/3 of tcsh) and will install in
/bin. I think that making that package a required one should solve
all problems WRT csh...
While we are at it: I think somebody (preferredly either the
maintainer of bash or pdksh) should package a minimal version of their
shell (without readline, builtins, etc.) to provide a /bin/sh which
might be used for scripts. TMK both sources provide configuration
templates for a minimal version intended as a replacement for broken
/bin/sh's as found on various commercial IXes...
