[snipped various scripts from /usr/bin] It's much "worse" than that, even the Debian Policy Manual strongly recommends using 'set -e' in package maintainer scripts. https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-maintainerscripts.html While the package maintainer scripts are arguably a somewhat special case, the rough consensus in Debian appears to be that 'set -e' should always be used in shell scripts (as the Debian Policy suggests).
