If you start with this decision, you will fail with a high probability because posh is known to be full of bugs. There are better alternatives for an introducing test.
Which software is free of bugs ... OK, the final TeX/Web from Donald E. Knuth. The only known I see is the the well defined bugs of the posh: Legitimate bugs are inconsistencies between manpage and behavior, and inconsistencies between behavior and Debian policy (currently SUSv3 compliance with the following exceptions: echo -n, binary -a and -o to test, local scoping). which is OK IMHO :) For a test the build system and the bells and whistles therein the posh is simply perfect (IMHO).
