I am sorry I have to ask, but what's wrong with bash? I mean, it's a
shell, but what is worse or better than any other shell about it? What's
the benefit of dealing with multiple implementations of a shell? Do you
want to waste memory, increase your test matrix, complicate the use,
yadda, yadda? 

I really, really don't buy in this Debian ideology of "bash is bad, but
dash is awesome", that's just intense BS.
