Having sashroot might simply the only rescue if somehow libc or libdl
gets broken or moved away (don't ask now why I finally decided to
install sash this way), and you have no local access to the box.
Well, I guess, the only resolution for such case is to ask sash
maintainer to include proper announcement for debconf and to include a
"disclaimer" about possible problems in README.Debian.
I will file a bug report against sash now.
