Bash is considered "essential" by Debian so it's guaranteed to be
installed. So I haven't really considered it high priority to try to
make it work on dash or pdksh or mksh or some other nitpicky POSIX.2
shell.
I assume that the right place to state this is in the RPM spec file
(it isn't not needed for debian/control since bash is an essential
package).
Shrug; I'd accept clean patches that allowed the use of a strict
POSIX.2-only shell, especially if there were distributions who cared
about this. But I find it hard to get excited about it, personally. :-)
