This is not a bashism. I'm using the test program, which exists as both /usr/bin/test and /usr/bin/[. The problem is that dash has a builtin test--something not specified by Posix--which does not implement the features of Debian /usr/bin/test. Perhaps we are not ready for dash to be /bin/sh since it seems to want to randomly override the normal Debian versions of various commands.
