FYI: I have removed the bug from CC, since this discussion seems a bit
separated from it.

Perhaps making all those scripts either depend on bash or transition
to /bin/sh would be a good idea. This could be done through a lintian
warning I think. Then people interested in working on fully
transitioning to /bin/sh could just find the reverse depends of bash
and the packages affected by the lintian warning.
