Hi,

I've put up a fix at

- git://repo.or.cz/dash/debian/jrn.git proposed-updates
- http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/d/dash/dash_0.5.6.1-1~exp3.dsc

It uses an old trick from Michael Stone (as explained by ajt), from
<http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=85;bug=34717>.

Known bug: the /bin/sh link switches to bash and back to dash if dash
and bash are being upgraded in a single dpkg run on a typical
installation.  Seems harmless.  Fixing that would require a small
change to bash's preinst.

Please feel free to test bootstraps and weird scenarios and let me
know how it goes.  After a few days I would be interested in uploading
this to experimental.

Thanks, and hope that helps.
Jonathan
