Well, there's a difference between 'to use bash' and 'to require /bin/sh
to be a bash', the /bin/sh of the host system nonetheless.  As bash is
non-POSIX compliant in different ways than other shells are non-POSIX
compliant, some (non-OE) #!/bin/sh scripts of other packages break.

IMO it would make more sense to use bash as /bin/sh for that specific
package (if possible) but even more sense to fix the bashism in the
first place (and notify upstream to fix it as well)...
