Sigh... sleep(1) liks against librt (and thus - libpthread)
Reason: it wants clock_gettime() since it wants sub-microsecond accuracy
for current time.
* timeslice granularity is significantly less than that
* time spent entering and exiting sleep(1) is significantly more
than that
* time spent before parent sees SIGCLD is significantly more than
that
* sleep(1) argument is in seconds, ferchrissake! If we really
want sub-microsecond accuracy we would need (aside of turning the kernel
into RT one and making sure that sleep(1) is locked in core) an argument
with comparable precision.
Please, remove that bogosity.

I interpret that as saying that allowing subseconds in sleep is useless
bloat because a shell script can't achieve that level of accuracy
anyway. I tend to agree, but I'm not going to make the debian sleep fork
from upstream if you're convinced it's a good idea.
