The idea is we really want the build system not to care which shell you are using, so users don't have to change from the default of dash to bash (and slow down their boot in the process, since faster booting was the main reason dash was introduced in Ubuntu.) FWIW in master this is pretty much taken care of, although there may still be a few cases like this one and we do have to be careful not to introduce any "bashisms" in future.
