Bug#161455: debian-policy: reference to ash outdated



Package: debian-policy
Version: 3.5.7.0
Severity: normal

In 11.4:

     You may wish to restrict your script to POSIX features when possible
     so that it may use `/bin/sh' as its interpreter.  If your script works
     with `ash', it's probably POSIX compliant, but if you are in doubt,
     use `/bin/bash'.


Debian's ash seems to be renamed to dash now.  I suggest changing the
clause to "with `posh' or `dash'", since posh is less forgiving of POSIX
incompatibilities.
