Please reverse this change before edgy final. It's caused massive breakage for me - for instance, the intel compiler was utterly broken. It relied on 'export -n' and 'exec -a' working. I'm almost tempted to remove dash with dpkg -r and live with the apt-get complaints.
This is a huge mistake - it's broken all manner of things for me, and I suspect that it will end up being a support nightmare once edgy final is released to the world.
Yes, people shouldn't have assumed that /bin/sh was bash rather than bourne shell - but they have. I can fix my own scripts, but going through other vendor supplied scripts is going to be a complete pain.
