It's also relatively trivial to just run through the archive, looking
for shell scripts and at least sh -n them from various shells of your
choice.

Sure, but it's more time consuming that using the 'Depends: '

Until Debian ships with /bin/sh pointing to dash or posh by default, a "Depends: bash" line isn't going to be reliable anyway, because a lot of maintainers won't notice that their package depends on bash, and the ones that do should probably just remove the bashisms.
