Re: Switching /bin/sh to dash (part two)

Hello everybody,
This is a follow up to my previous thread, with a slightly different proposal.
What actually needs to be done is:
* Make dash essential, make it divert the current /bin/sh symlink by default,
make another essential package depend on dash. Prompt the user before
diverting on interactive upgrades.
One additional question:
how can we setup dependencies, so that "nis + mounted /usr/" needs
explicitly dash as /bin/sh?
[creating ugly dash-as-sh, bash-as-sh packages, who conflict
each other and setup the symlink?]
Or we need to set explicitly use #!/bin/dash in umountall?
[not so flexible solution, but IMHO enough good]
I think we should address this, because was one of the rationale
for the switch.
In long term we need to find a solution how to handle unsupported
configuration in a flexible way (which will solve also lilo case: it
works only with limited kernels and config)
