Mass "do not use bash" bug filing

["Adam D. Barratt" <adam@adam-barratt.org.uk>]

Hi,

I noticed that you appear to be filing several RC bugs against packages
which use /bin/bash shebangs in their scripts.

These bugs are *not* RC. The packages themselves do not have security
issues. The interpreter they choose to use {may,does}, but that is not a
bug in grep, xz-utils or gzip.

You should also know by now that mass bug filing without prior
discussion is discouraged, regardless of the severity.

Finally, the rationale presented for the bugs - "against the debian
policy to use /bin/sh if possible" - is bogus. Debian Policy makes no
such requirement or even suggestion. It spells out what functionality
scripts using /bin/sh may rely on, it in no way implies that other
shells may not be used if appropriate shebangs and dependencies are in
place.

Regards,

Adam
