I think it would be a bad idea to make any recommendations on escape codes in debian policy: (1) We don't use them. (2) In almost all examples we don't care if they're supported or not. (3) POSIX already says enough about escape codes. As it happens, neither bash nor ash support them, while zsh does. Both variants are reasonable. -- Raul
