To be precise, /bin/bash is a genuine bash on Debian, /bin/sh

I am not sure Sage should adapt its code to such arbitrary decisions,
there have been some Linux kernel critical bugs, not sure we can afford
removing such a dependency if some incompetent sysadmins suddenly decide
to get rid of their kernel instead of upgrading their system.
