EUID is bashism and might not be available in a different shell. But I
am sure we're using a lot of those and we have "#!/bin/bash".

It's just somehting to consider, because I am not sure if we say
anywhere that those scripts will require bash. Personally I do not care
too much, but I am using bash exclusively :)

Bash is considered "essential" by Debian so it's guaranteed to be
installed.  So I haven't really considered it high priority to try to
make it work on dash or pdksh or mksh or some other nitpicky POSIX.2
shell.

I assume that the right place to state this is in the RPM spec file
(it isn't not needed for debian/control since bash is an essential
package).

Shrug; I'd accept clean patches that allowed the use of a strict
POSIX.2-only shell, especially if there were distributions who cared
about this.  But I find it hard to get excited about it, personally.  :-)
