It's not clear from the above (or the changelog) what the change is,
exactly. Okay, there's now no debconf code to set up a new /bin/sh ->
/bin/bash symlink, but does that mean existing ones will be reverted
on dist-upgrade, or what? Is this configuration no longer supported,
or is it just that in future admins should set it up with some
mechanism more reliable than debconf?
Either way, we'll need to amend that release-notes entry for
^-handling, and presumably we'll want a new entry about this to go
along with that one.
