I've done that. I created the package. It's now marked as "needs work" but
it is going to need to be worked on by someone else.
In general, I very much like the approach taken by {{{autoconf}}}, where
instead of having a huge lookup table detailing what version of what OS
supports this function or that function, it actually '''tests''' the
functionality. Overall that seems a far more logical approach to me, and
seems to be what Jeroen is proposing. If we can '''test''' the
functionality of bash, rather than having code that attempts to find a
specific Linux release, then testing seems a better way forward.
