"/bin/sh does not point to bash" is not the same as "does not use bash for scripting"

On my system there are 42 scripts in /bin -> /usr/bin (merged) that start with some variant of `#! /bin/bash` and at least two that do `bash -c`, but that's excluding who-knows-how-many scripts that look slightly different or are in other directories.

And keep in mind that on Debian, almost all first-party software is implemented in Perl, with a small minority in Python.
