That's the correct way.

oe-layersetup.sh is distro-agnostic and should stay that way. Switching off
dash is strictly Ubuntu-specific and requires root privileges, not something
we'd want in oe-layersetup.sh...
There's a recent effort to get rid of bashisms in OE-Core and our layers
(actually, if you chekc logs, you'll see some changes already). But for
meta-arago to get full benefits of that, it needs to be upgraded from denzil
to danny, which should happen soon.
