Weird, I was pretty sure we already have an /etc/shells file installed

The base-files package would be a good place to be. David?
Currently inetutils-server provides /etc/defaults/etc/shells. If that
file is required by base functionality now, then I've no problem
removing it and modifying inetutils' postinstall/preremove scripts. But
we'll need to synchronize the uploads of inetutils-server-$next and
base-files-$next.
Speaking of base-files, version 4.1-2 has been in test now for over two
years...works fine here and fixes a problem with $TEMP and other
"standard" variable names: 4.1-1 set both $TEMP and $temp, but these are
not distinguished by native processes, leading to confusion if a native
process reset $TEMP (but not $temp).
