Sparr, your comments are unhelpful---there IS a problem here, and it
making the distribution notably less useful. Reverting /bin/sh to point
to bash will fix this until you can (quite rightly) beat people into
specifying /bin/bash if they need bash.

But, for now, this is breaking stuff, and it can be easily unbroken. The
high road here is not helpful to Ubuntu users, and smacks of the same
kind of perfectionist arrogance which curses open source software to
forever be a continual battle with your computer to make it actually
work properly.

If you think this is minor, search for “dash” within the Ubuntu bug
list. I've seen this break _configure scripts_, for crying out loud.
You're not going to upstream fix autoconf _and_ get everyone who uses it
to release new tarballs this side of 2007.
