_Description: Install dash as /bin/sh?
- Bash is the default /bin/sh on a Debian system. However, since the Debian
- policy requires all shell scripts using /bin/sh to be POSIX compliant, any
- shell that conforms to POSIX can serve as /bin/sh. Since dash is POSIX
- compliant, it can be used as /bin/sh. You may wish to do this because
- dash is faster and smaller than bash.
