And here is the patch I speak of. This is against the current CVS core
HEAD checkout. I've went through each package that depends on bash,
and tried to figure out whether the dependency could be switched to
sh, should stay as bash, or be removed all together.

PLEASE give me feedback so I don't go blindly breaking things. I've
posted my logic as well as a few other comments below. If you want to
try things out, I have a statically built dash package (against klibc,
so it is super light) here
<http://www.archlinux.org/~dan/dash-changes/>. I would love to get
this in the core repo if there are no objections. I would eventually
like to have an Arch system that doesn't go to hell when the /bin/sh
symlink is changed to dash, but I'm going to need help from other devs
and users when doing this.

automake -> sh
autoconf -> sh
gzip -> sh
tar -> nothing? (no install)
initscripts -> needs bash
util-linux-ng -> nothing? (no install)
coreutils -> nothing? (no install)
man -> sh
hwdetect -> needs fixing, #!/bin/sh line is a lie (see below)
less -> nothing? (no install)
grep -> nothing? (no install)
tcp_wrappers -> nothing? (no install)
filesystem -> sh? looks like only install script needs it
findutils -> nothing? (no install)
e2fsprogs -> nothing? (no install)
perl -> sh? looks like only install script needs it
pacman -> needs bash (makepkg)
glibc -> sh? just install script
gawk -> sh
m4 -> nothing? (no install)
flex -> sh
make -> nothing? (no install)
libtool -> sh
capi4k-utils -> don't know, don't use it (can someone check?)
wlan-ng26-utils -> don't know, don't use it (can someone check?)


$ hwdetect
[: 57: ==: unexpected operator
[: 58: ==: unexpected operator
[: 59: ==: unexpected operator
[: 70: ==: unexpected operator
[: 126: ==: unexpected operator
[: 166: ==: unexpected operator

This can be fixed by changing all occurances of "==" to a single "=",
and the rm statement at the end must be expanded as {} expansion is a
bash thing.
