Please read the rest of the discussion. If we start using --package and there's a local diversion in place and the user say she/he wants to switch to dash (or debconf thinks that's the answer) dpkg-divert would error out and leave dash unconfigured. Yes, that's an option that would show an error message explaining the situation, but in case of large non-interactive setups (see the theoretical case of [1]) somebody would have to manually remove the local diversion. Actually, pretty much the same would happen once bash is the one prompting and diverting /bin/sh; so we still need to find a solution. Any dpkg maintainer reading? Raphaƫl? Guillem?
