Quoting Luk Claes (luk@debian.org): > It's enough to dpkg-reconfigure dash for existing installations. And, by the way, if the switch happens, one has to think about rewording the current debconf template for dash, that says: Description: Install dash as /bin/sh? The default /bin/sh shell on Debian and Debian-based systems is bash. . However, since the default shell is required to be POSIX-compliant, any shell that conforms to POSIX, such as dash, can serve as /bin/sh. You may wish to do this because dash is faster and smaller than bash. If dash becomes the default /bin/sh, then that template should be kept with a different wording (for those who might want to restore it as the default sh) and a similar template (and maintainer script magic) should be added to bash.
