Package: file Version: 4.12-1 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch I have just changed /bin/sh from pointing to bash to dash and have been tracking down a few bashisms.
In the course of this I noticed that file identifies files with shebang of #!/bin/sh as Bourne shell scripts. This should really read POSIX compatible shell script. Patch to change attached.
