Debian also has a long history of providing alternatives for /bin/sh - when I 
did debian packages in '99 I got plenty of bug reports when a KDE script used
/bin/sh and was using bash syntax. If you have that, worrying about the 
default is less of a pain - SUSE used /bin/sh as bash for years and changing
that will make many people cry I'm afraid.

So first step would be: volunteers to run their system with ash as /bin/sh and
provide bug reports for shells using bash syntax. I once did it myself, but
my time is limited, but e.g. see hal.changes:

- init script should work with strict /bin/sh too
