This is the kind of spec that leads to spoiled upstreams putting
/bin/sh in shebangs and scratching their heads when they get bug
reports for stricter systems...
I'd be happier if Fedora was not part of the problem and maintainers
were encouraged to figure out the correct shebang (and when in doubt
use /usr/bin/bash). And since RPM appears to be configurable for the
default interpreter, have it use /usr/bin/bash by default.

So please write the spec you want to see.
