Subject: [PATCH] Change shells of users from /bin/bash to /bin/sh on removal
sorry for joining in lately into this game, but I didn't want to do that in parallel with my other Debian tasks.
I don't like the idea of automatic shell rewriting, and will revert it with the next regular upload. For user accounts it potentially creates broken init files, because the user's init files might use bashisms. The same might be true for system accounts, although you can manually check if these accounts use bashisms. Nobody is hurt by having bash installed, you can avoid that for new installations, so this change doesn't seem to have any benefit which out weights the regression potential. There also isn't any precedence for other shells doing that.
