+Description: POSIX-compliant shell
+ The Debian Almquist Shell (dash) is a POSIX-compliant shell derived
+ from ash.
+ .
+ Since it executes scripts faster than bash, and has fewer library
+ dependencies (making it more robust against software or hardware
+ failures), it is used as the default system shell on Debian systems.
