FWIW, I initially reported this problem -- software claiming to use /bin/sh actually expecting bash -- to debian in 1997 (http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/1997/04/msg00570.html). I was blown off and told that /bin/sh would always be /bin/bash and that people could and should just assume that /bin/sh was not merely a POSIX sh but provided all the extra bashisms.
