Package: bash
Version: 4.1-3
Severity: minor
Justification: documentation

Hi,

In debian/bash.preinst.c, one finds:

const char *msg =
  "As bash for Debian is destined to provide a working /bin/sh (pointing to\n"
  "/bin/bash) your link will be overwritten by a default link.\n\n"
  "If you don't want further upgrades to overwrite your customization, please\n"
  "read /usr/share/doc/bash/README.Debian.gz for a more permanent solution.\n\n"
  "[Press RETURN to continue]";

That message is printed if:

 . /bin/sh is not a symbolic link, or
 . /bin/sh is an undiverted symbolic link.

But README.Debian does not actually explain any more permanent solution.

What would that more permanent solution be, by the way?  (Presumably
this would be useful to know while looking at the dash preinst.)

Curious,
Jonathan
