I'll repeat my previous opinion on this issue: I think the time for
compensating for the ash -> bash upgrade is over and we should just have
bash provide /bin/sh directly without the complicated postinstall
gymnastics.  There was the objection that the current scheme obstensibly
allows for the user to use any shell as /bin/sh, but I question how many
people are aware of this let alone desire to take advantage of it.
