Not really. However, it was discussed that people who have such concerns
should install a second root account with the suggested name of "toor". toor
would use sash as the shell instead of bash. sash, Stand Alone SHell, is
statically linked and includes many of the common shell utilities. Remember,
bash is not the only thing which is dymanically linked that one may need in a
rescue situation. *IF* Debian were to install such a standard package, I'd
say use sash instead of a statically linked bash.
