OK. I thought it probably would.
Merging your report with my own and let's hope sysconfig-hardware will get 
fixed soon.

The default shell *must* have changed though as otherwise you'd already 
have had the issue before the upgrade. And the default is not supposed to 
change during an upgrade without a debconf prompt (unless you're using 
non-standard settings for debconf, such as using the non-interactive 
frontend).

I'll leave it to you whether you want to file a separate bug report 
(against dash) for that.
