May I ask why the default shell was changed to dash in the first place?
>From what I've seen, there doesn't seem to be any benefits apart from
being faster (which IMHO isn't as important as running scripts
properly). As I already said, I don't see why dash can't just be an
option, and not a default. Yes, it's true that these scripts may be in
the wrong - but that still doesn't stop the fact that they work almost
every other distro using bash, but not in edgy. Basically, why does dash
_have_ to be set as default? I'm not saying to remove it from the
repositories altogether, but not to force it upon people when it
obviously clashes with numerous scripts.
