Hi,

I recently encountered some packages (e.g.
fhist: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=263997
userv: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=263979
) that FTBFS when /bin/sh is not bash, but instead a more POSIX like
shell, e.g. dash. See also Policy, 10.4. Scripts.

What is the correct severity for this kind of bug?

Thanks!

bye,
  Roland
