sh -p is not guaranteed to be provided by POSIX shells. dash for instance

That's pretty funny. The script requires a posix shell, which bash isn't by
default, so it provides an undocumented (in my ubuntu man page) option to
force bash into compliance. Since the option itself isn't posix, we now
require the use of this non-posix shell so we can guarantee posix
compliance.
