Package: debian-policy Version: 3.8.0.1 Severity: wishlist I fail to see why policy states (10.4): > You may wish to restrict your script to SUSv3 features plus the above set > when possible so that it may use /bin/sh as its interpreter. If your script > works with dash (originally called ash), it probably complies with the > above requirements, but if you are in doubt, use /bin/bash. dash has some extra features not required by policy and thus may give the reader the impression that if a script works fine under dash it is likely to be policy-compliant. If such kind of statement is really wanted please instead refer to posh and/or checkbashisms. The former is meant to only provide what the policy requires and the latter is a tool to detect the usage of features not required by policy (as stated in the man page, despite the usage of the name 'bashisms').
