Package: ash
Severity: wishlist

Dear maintainer,

According the description of the ash package, it is a compatibility
package awaiting that /bin/ash be not longer used for delete it.

With the close of bug 919992, no package depends of ash in sid.

Also, according codesearch, only a fews packages use ash as shell
(https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=%23!%2Fbin%2Fash):

* dnsmasq: bug 920224 - waiting for maintainer response
* pv: bug 920225 (closed) - according Antoine not related to debian,
  the script is not directly used (autoconf/scripts/index.sh)
* gargoyle-free: bug 920642 - waiting for maintainer response
* qsf: not bug filled - same situation as pv

Regards,
Juan Picca
