Well, configure files are autogenerated, so that means the problem lies
before that. Does that mean autotools generate incorrect configure
files, or does that means that particular one is buggy? Or does that
mean dash is definitely doing the wrong thing?

It seems we have some other packages which will FTBFS with errors in
configure too, and I guess a fully archive rebuild would exhibit quite
some failures because of that. I'm not finger pointing, but is the dash
change really legit?
