Last time I checked I was testing several systems (not only on Debian) and I had some issues with "echo -n". Ever since I've replace it with 'printf' but you might be right that "echo -n" is working fine with dash too. I know for user that I'll stick to this convention since I don't have Debian on all hosts.
