You can always compile it from source:

http://gondor.apana.org.au/~herbert/dash/files/

And there also seems to be debian devel perl script that can check for
bashism, maybe we can start using it to check shell scripts:

The stress tests are installed into $DESTDIR/testcases/bin/ aren't they?

If that is the case these scripts are in $PATH and could be executed
without fiddling with full path.
