My assumption is that /bin/sh is VERY important to the system. All server scripts use it. A dangling symlink could be hazardous. Also, some systems initially mount only certain directories. And /etc is sometimes on a different partition entirely. /bin should stand on its own. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-request@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
