I think the two of you are spending far more effort *arguing* about this than it actually takes, in practice, to keep Debian scripts invoking /bin/sh compatible with dash. That is, after all, the point you're currently arguing against, even though this result is already implied by policy's current mandate for POSIX-compliant maintainer scripts when using /bin/sh as an interpreter. Has this requirement ever cost you (or anyone) so much development time that this thread is anything other than absurdly disproportionate? -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
