I have only rarely used dash, which seems to be standard in ubuntu

trying to set environment variables on the way into chroot from
systemrescuecd (when I had copied an existing LFS to a new machine
and was chrooting to set up grub) which I think uses zsh, so I
assume this is probably a shell problem.
A bit off topic, but I found https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DashAsBinSh
as a reason that they use dash. I think their problem is not so much
bash as too many complicated scripts. They don't document the saving.
On an LFS system, the time in the boot scripts generally is about 6
seconds for me. If I didn't do udev_settle and udev_retry it would be
2-3 seconds.
Because they have way too much bloat in the boot scripts, they break
other things.
dpkg-reconfig dash
Answer no.
