bash_2.01.1-3.deb appears to directly install symlinks bin/sh->bash
and usr/man/man1/sh.1.gz->bash.1.gz. These symlinks will get re-installed
whenever this package is updated. Is this a bug? If so, who/what
should install these symlinks? update-alternatives (and, if so, do
we need a policy manual pronouncement on bash vs. ash vs. foo priority
levels)?
