Package: notion
Version: 3+2015061300-2+b1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I'm defining a couple of shell functions in my ~/.bash_profile and
export them so I can use them in xterms started from within
notion. This worked fine in jessie, but broke with the update to
stretch. Apparently in stretch dash (which provides /bin/sh) drops
bash functions from the environment. Since notion uses /bin/sh (rather
than the user shell) to execute any program everything started by
notion will lack the shell functions.

Please make the shell to use configurable and / or default to using
the user shell instead of /bin/sh. Not only does this avoid this kind
of bug, it also matches the user expectations regarding the shell
syntax more closely.

PS: Thanks for maintaing the Debian package for notion!
