Weird, I was pretty sure we already have an /etc/shells file installed
by default.  Apparently not.  So, shan't we add one?

  /bin/sh
  /bin/bash
  /bin/dash
  /bin/mksh
  /bin/zsh
  /usr/bin/sh
  /usr/bin/bash
  /usr/bin/dash
  /usr/bin/mksh
  /usr/bin/zsh

The base-files package would be a good place to be.  David?
