hooray.  lets all go back to the 1970s.

and let's toss out GNU fileutils, shellutils, findutils, etc while we're
at it and write primitive clones of ancient propietary versions - debian
too can have a crappy archaic userland like freebsd and solaris.


mandating POSIX compliance for init.d and other system sh scripts is one
thing (and not that bad a requirement), but mandating it as the default
interactive sh is beyond stupid, it's cretinous.
