All of what you mention can be true and I still find it comical to say "NYU eats world." The British Empire "ate the world." Many people have wrote "Google eats the world." Grand real estate ambitions in NYC an

My complaint with the response was the "if you go down that road" response. The bug submitter was not suggesting dropping shell scripts, it was a request to remove the bashisms from dhclient so that it could work with dash. It is

Unfortunately this is not the case in debian. There is an open bug to replace bash with dash. There do not seem to be many bashisms in the actual script. Sadly a member of the security team did not seem to be persuaded by the utility of t

What automated process for Debian administration is unaware of debconf? This is a honest question. How could an automated Debian administration process not be aware of and interact on some level with debconf?

Debian's default /bin/sh is not "really bash," it is dash. The same is true for many embedded distros based on busybox.
