Dash does not implement the features of Debian /bin/test. It is not
sufficient to implement only the features of Posix /bin/test.
The policy requires that I adapt to other Posix shells, not other Posix
implementations of test, ls, and other things.
Or are you saying that it's ok for dash to override random Debian
commands in incompatible ways?
