/bin/sh - /bin/bash

[Christoph Lameter <clameter@waterf.org>]

It could be difficult to implement a tool to analyze each script
if it includes bash dependencies or not. I just went through a discussion
with a few developers yesterday on irc about may be making /bin/sh
changeable with the update-alternatives approach. /bin/sh seems to be just
the default shell and it is unclear to me what functionality is
guaranteed.
/bin/bash is safe.
