Re: Several reasons why debian should not use bash for /bin/sh

I would be glad to make some other strict POSIX-compliant /bin/sh instead of
bash, but I am afraid we don't have a candidate. I don't think ash is good
enough for the job. And I don't have enough information about pdksh.

Making our scripts not to use "bashism" is a big problem though.
