Your new code suggestion works fine and is an idiom that I have used often in shell scripts. So if you are okay with it then I am too. I am not aware of any situation in Debian (for example /bin/sh is really ash, dash, etc.) where this does not work okay. If I recall correctly the use of 'command -v' is an XSI extension. I have seen people object to using XSI extensions previously. (shrug.) I could go either way on this and do not have a strong preference.
