Not really as the topic here is saying that /bin/sh should be POSIX-compliant, which is a policy we have in Debian (and all CDD, and actually all Linux-based distributions). About the point raised by Helge: I don't really see why "the distribution" would be less clear than "Debian". What matters to users is not that they use Debian, it is using "a" free software distribution that fits their needs. Whether this is Debian, Debian-Edu, DzongkhaLinux or even Ubuntu doesn't really matter. And I think that the word that matters is "policy", not "Debian" or "distribution". Another way would be to completely change such statements by talking about "standards", or FHS, or whatever. About the concern related to DFSG, I always point people who bring that argument that, at least in my interpretation of DFSG, "our users" are also the CDD *and* their users, even when these users don't even know they are our users.
