           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 Can we get rid of that, please? I don't think that we really need it,
it just bloats the subject and moves the relevant data off the screen.
:-/  I am confident that all of us do sort lists out based on X-List*
headers.

Package: bash
Essential: yes
Priority: required
Section: base

 I think it is that bad to make it bash only. Although it would of
course be helpful to make it shell-independent, I don't think that it is
a real problem when it is too hard to do.

 Me not, sorry.  I even thought about suggesting using perl, but that
wouldn't buy us anything, bash is there already.

 So long,
