Michael et al, would you be willing to move [, printf and test to /bin/ and place symlinks to them in /usr/bin/ to help resolving this problem?
CTTE has decided to not overrule the udev maintainer, not force any action at all, not help to clean up this issue, and merely defer it to Debian Policy _if_ it's desired to draft a policy on shell built- ins. It has come to my attention that [ and test aren't mentioned in SUSv3 either, and on the BSD systems I own (and I could look into a couple of real Unix systems too if you'd like, but I'm sure most of them have it too) [ and test lie in /bin (printf doesn't, but then, the scripts on these systems do not use it). Either this, or the udev maintainer¹ deciding to use a different shebang on his scripts², would fix the issue peacefully. ¹) not likely... ²) except that some are initscripts, which seem to be special Thanks for your consideration!
