I think the two of you are spending far more effort *arguing* about this
than it actually takes, in practice, to keep Debian scripts invoking /bin/sh
compatible with dash. That is, after all, the point you're currently
arguing against, even though this result is already implied by policy's
current mandate for POSIX-compliant maintainer scripts when using /bin/sh as
an interpreter. Has this requirement ever cost you (or anyone) so much
development time that this thread is anything other than absurdly
disproportionate?
