Is that "touch" really desirable?  It seems as though screen ought not
really to be creating /etc/shells if it isn't there already,
No, it's supposed to be created if /etc/shells doesn't exist already,
otherwise, how could we echo text to it?
I guess there are two things to say about this:

1) not everybody wants /etc/shells, and having screen (or any other
recipe) create that file unilaterally seems like a bad thing.
Especially since there doesn't seem to be any corresponding postrm to
clear it up if screen is then removed again, nor is /etc/shells
mentioned in CONFFILES.

2) even if you did want to create /etc/shells, the touch is unnecessary
because "echo foo >> FILE" is perfectly capable of creating the FILE if
it didn't already exist.
Yes, you are correct for both of the two points, I will send the V3, includes the changes:
1 add postrm script, removing the entry in /etc/shells.
2 rm the unnecessary 'touch'.
3 change the regex for screen and bash recipes.(As Martin pointed out)

Anything else?
