That looks a very bad decision from Ubuntu developers :-/
I don't agree. The whole reason that we put the #!/bin/sh shebang in
scripts is that we can expect a Posix compliant shell. What we're
doing here (I do this myself, too) is using Bash. Ubuntu ships with
Bash, just has sh->dash. So, we should stop fooling around and make
the shell we want bash instead of griping about what /bin/sh is.
There's no rule that says sh->bash. Or, go back through all the
scripts and make them fully Posix compliant. There's an easy solution
and a hard solution here.
