It is precisely /bin/sh that is the most "essential" feature of the bash package; there might be room for discussion on whether we should consider /bin/bash to be outside of the essential feature set, but now you're talking about a change that requires adding dash to the set of essential packages *in addition to* bash, with no explanation of why this is appropriate. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
