Public bug reported:

lightdm has hardcoded dependency on  bash (>= 4.3) which is very strange
- I expect DM to work regardless of which shell is installed in my
system. The dependency should be changed to dash and all the bashisms in
source code (if any) should be eliminated to improve portability.

** Affects: lightdm (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
