You're correct of course. If we want to go this way there should be two questions: one for the system shell to use and one for the default user shell, each with per-arch defaults. From the discussion there seem to be three groups: - embedded: want to have only a single, lightweight shell installed for both system and users; - generic: want a fast system shell, but a more powerful shell for users; - conservative: don't want to run any risk with script incompatibilities and thus want to have the same, powerful shell for system and users. It seems to me all three are valid. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
