I feel a little bit like Christopher Columbus, who believed that he=20 discovered the "New World," which of course lots of folks already knew=20 about before he discovered it, some even lived there! I gather the Debian folks are of two minds about this. One mind says=20 that apt-get ought not to run under zsh and ought to be smart enough to=20 insist on bash if it needs to. But the other mind seems determined,=20 saying that Debian Policy requires that /bin/sh point to a Posix=20 Compliant Shell, and zsh is not Posix Compliant.=20 So, I'll give them their Posix Compliant shell in /bin/sh if they=20 insist, but run zsh as a login shell anyway if I want to.
