Also i wanted to come up with more nice tool, like colour support (like `ls' or `quilt diff'), CROSS toolchains support, nicer sed magic in implementation, etc. All this was in my short original comment. Yes that message was short and somebody even thought i was not so polite -- from my POV that was concrete description of the bug, with clear goodwill to help. Therefore, IMNSHO one *must* suppress any personal angriness before replying to (very simple and small in this case) technical issues. Now i feel the same as Bartlomiej described in the discussion of regression tracking, that got even quoted in LWN prev. kernel page [0]. I will not say i'm sad, i will say it's awesome to have so much attention to silly issues like /bin/sh->/bin/bash. By the way it was Linus who pointed out *my*, possibly bad, usage of GNU find extensions in the Makefile near you. After that, i started to check at least busybox's tools before i will go to GNU's luxury of features. And as you may noticed, Ubuntu even defaults shell like dash in its setup, while in Debian i have questions and/or `update-alternatives'. It's obvious for me now, why that regression tracking thread has ended without useful implementation ideas or counter-arguments against Debian BTS....
