I think it's best if bash handles it.

The link above is useless in this case: the file isn't supposed to be modified
by the user (in fact, it should belong to /usr/share/, we're already working
on this upstream), so the maintainer shouldn't care about possible changes. I
believe just removing the file if the version from which the user is upgrading
is 3.1dfsg-9 is sufficient. I'm reassigning the bug.

Kindly,
David
