Debian Edu had to switch /bin/sh from bash to dash to get shutdown to umount /usr/ when we use libnss-ldap (bug #159771). Bash loads user information using nss when it starts, and thus loads the shared ldap library from /usr/ on invocation. This make it unusable in a system with LDAP users. Switching to dash as /bin/sh gave us a nice surprise with reduced memory consumption and faster boots as well, but that was not the reason why we switched.
