Not strictly true. A script written for use with #!/bin/sh should use
the POSIX superset allowed by policy. A script aimed at bsah should
just declare it's interpreter as #!/bin/bash. Generally, you don't need
to do that, but you are allowed to.

That's not quite true - many packages in debian use an enable/disable
variable in an /etc/default/package file.
