Hi Justin,
Very briefly: the issues.dbk file contains
lots-o-stuff that seemed like it might be
relevant to include in the final text. A lot
of it is a hodge-podge and not ready to be reviewed.
Of course you're welcome to come up with something
yourself. :-)

Technically, bash is not a required package. So it
won't necessarily be on every Debian system. The
perl-base package is required, so I used perl.
(printf is Posix and in dash, which is also required.)
This may be over-thinking, but I thought it a factor.
