I am the person responsible for this problem. In fact the problem was that
people did not want the bash package to override their /bin/sh link so
it had to be removed from the package. Problem is that this way dpkg will
delete the link. As long as you just run dpkg -i bash*.deb this is no problem
as the postinst will recreate the link if it is not there.
apt does it right - it configures bash at once since it is an essential
package. But when I upgraded my system using dpkg (the packages were
downloaded according to a list generated by apt) I lost /bin/sh myself.
If somebody could come up with a better method of handling this it would be
most welcome.
Thanks
