I don't think we should plan as if we're going to only have one
posix shell.  And I like this idea of using update-alternatives
to select /bin/sh  

Finally, could someone spell out for me what about ash is non-posix?
The posix documentation isn't freely available, or I'd look it up
myself.

Thanks,
