Package: bash Version: 5.0-6 Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-Cc: helmut Grohne <[email protected]> X-Debbugs-Cc: Guillem Jover <[email protected]>
Hi, It seems that bash still has an "old" compiled preinst script. Based on the source code, it seems to handle its half of the "dash-as-sh"-transition. Given that dash has now dropped its preinst, it stands to reason that we can remove bash's as well assuming it is only aimed at handling the /bin/sh transition. We are interested in this to reduce the number of maintscripts in Debian in general as well as to enable progress on a proposal called [InstallBootstrap]. Related: #599250 might also be closable. ~Niels [InstallBootstrap]: https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Dpkg/Spec/InstallBootstrap
