I'd be happy with SUSv3, UP relevant to non-interactive use, and the
appropriate subset of XSI. Of course, you realize that this reverses
the 'echo -n' exception and that people will cry.
The other problem, then, is that we will have a situation wherein no shell
in Debian would be suitable as /bin/sh (unless I'm assuming incorrectly
about pdksh).
