I vaguely remember chatting Adam about this over IRC before committing it. Anyhow the issue was that dash was regarded essential one place (Depends) but not in terms of scripts (the /bin/dash line). Personally I do not mind reverting it, but I feel we have to take out dash is essential as well or use a new tag for "/bin/dash" (asking people to use /bin/sh instead, incl. a reason for why). ~Niels -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
