Anyone knows how supported is this / when is it going to get switched on by default?
what I do not understand is why this was not done with alternatives instead, I would also like to experiment with a different shell as /bin/sh..
it was done using u-a from * Fri Feb 08 2019 Jan Engelhardt <…> - Put "sh" under control of update-alternatives until * Fri Oct 22 2021 Stefan Schubert <…> - Using package bash-sh instead of the update-alternative mechanism. u-a in all its glory is not perfect neither. so the approach with a 'drop-in' package was implemented (currently we have bash-sh, busybox-sh and dash-sh available - up to the user to shoot his own feet) Cheers, Dominique
