In Debian, it would not, because /bin/bash is, at the moment, required to
be always there.

Same for me, but I guess we can already be lucky that all scripts using
/bin/sh have to not use bashisms. If there's an easy way to fix this
problem without making the script use bash, ok, but I haven't heard of
such functionality in other shells, so I suppose changing the shebang
line here would be fine.
