Sorry, I don't think I'm understanding you correctly. Do you mean
that this *only* matters as long as we have to support un-merged-/usr
systems? (Because on merged-/usr systems, /bin/sh and /usr/bin/sh both
exist and are equivalent anyway, whichever path dpkg might think it
canonically has; so the harder situation here is un-merged-/usr)
