Now that I'm through the archive, I compiled a list of 206 packages that
fail to build from source when /bin/sh -> dash. You will find the list
below and the pbuilder logs under
http://people.debian.org/~stigge/FTBFS-when-sh-is-dash/ .
Most of them are easy to fix since the problem seems to be some bash
specific brace expansion or similar. Others have Makefiles that use bash
features without specifying SHELL=/bin/bash. The rest states "#!/bin/sh"
in shell scripts (./configure is a favourite!) but assumes bash.
See also Policy 10.4. Scripts, and
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2004/08/msg00412.html and
follow-ups.
We agreed that the problem is serious, but as Steve noted at #263997,
the issue is sarge-ignore. I wonder if I should undergo the trouble to
file that many serious sarge-ignore bugs now or just let you fiddle
around with your packages after looking them up in the list.
And here's the list:

This is the list of the respective packages that I haven't already filed

packages. Please contact me when a certain package builds fine with
dash.
Thanks.
