What about reverting this change in dash until after Squeeze is released? Now seem like a bad time to make thousand of packages in Debian fail to build from source. :) Or perhaps can this feature be made to turn on or off using some 'set' command, configuration file or command line argument to dash, to allow us to keep the old behaviour for Squeeze while allowing users to convert dash to be POSIX compliant locally?
