I just discovered that this problem also affect Debian Edu in Etch, as we use dash as /bin/sh to avoid getting problems with libldap and bash when /usr/ is on a separate partition.
It would be nice if this bug would get fixed in Etch as well as in unstable. I'm not sure if it affects the behavior of the script, but it add noise to the installation log and made me worry that something was wrong with our X configuration. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
