One reason I looked at debian-based systems at first was that they allegedly had gotten rid of Bash-isms in their init scripts (in contrast to Arch), but since the ISO refused to boot after I removed Bash, I am sort of sceptical about that...
If I remember right the announcement that they were removing Bashisms was not made very long ago, I'd be surprised if they'd done a complete job already even if they say they have.
