I too.
Maybe, some sort of /usr/lib/shells/ directory
maintained on the same priciples as /usr/lib/menu/?
And adding 99updatesh to /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ with
something like
DPkg::Post-Invoke { "/usr/sbin/update-shells"; };
?

Maybe just move it into some other essential package
like debianutils?

IMO, single file is simple and satisfactory solution.
Anyway, making a change that will affect _all shells_
in Debian should be well discussed, probably on
debian-devel.
