Package: bash
Version: 3.1-1
Severity: minor

$ dpkg -L bash |grep /bin/sh
/bin/sh

As /bin/sh is an admin-configurable symbolic link, it should not be
included in the bash package.  If the package were to be removed then
/bin/sh would be removed even if it pointed to another shell.  (This
bug could only be a problem if bash could be removed, which would
only be the case if there were some drop-in replacement for bash,
which case I believe to be counterfactual at present.  Hence the
Severity: minor.)

Should /bin/sh be handled using the alternatives mechanism?
