   Debian did make a big effort to strip bashisms out of scripts that used /bin/sh but I'm pretty sure that effectively everyone running Debian has bash installed.  I think it's almost impossible to avoid installing bash when you're using Linux.
   
   The places where I'd expect bash to be missing are the BSDs like FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, and maybe some embedded systems.
   
   Realistically it's probably best to just make any RPMs, DEBs, docker images, etc. that we generate for Kafka respins depend on bash, and just change the scripts to use /bin/bash.  Unless we really want to test all the scripts with dash, which seems like a pain.
