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.
