i imagine linux scripts often being full of bashims, so moving to dash
must have meant for the debian people to go through their tree to get
rid of those. in which case replacing dash with pdksh for system
scripts could be fine.
but why complicate stuff? i change just my user's shell and stick to
writing portable scripts -- in this case pdksh vs dash seems like a non
issue to me.
