Bug#554217: Debconf template claims Bash is the default sh..

Package: posh
Version: 0.8.4
Severity: normal

Hi Clint,

The debconf template that offers to install posh as /bin/sh says bash is
the default shell. Given this is no longer the case, that statement should
be changed, but I would maybe go further and explain that the default shell
is already a minimal, fast, POSIX compliant shell, very similar to posh.

I'm thinking about getting rid of the prompting altogether and just putting
in a README telling the admin to change the symlink if desired.
