Bug in bash 3.0-8: Removes its own manpage. (Well, one of the two.) (Cosmetic?)

Hi,
in /etc/postinstall/00bash.sh, it says (unconditionally):
----
# Get rid of ash manpage, if it is in the way of our compressed page.
rm -f /usr/share/man/man1/sh.1
----
Is this a known problem waiting for the new setup?
In effect, "man sh" fails, and "cygcheck -vc bash" says:
----
Package Version Status
Missing file: /usr/share/man/man1/sh.1 from package bash
bash 3.0-8 Incomplete
----
What about:
- leave sh.1 out of the bash tarball in the first place, and
- in postinstall, only if "man sh" is supposed to work:
----
# Get rid of ash manpage, if it is in the way of our compressed page.
rm -f /usr/share/man/man1/sh.1
ln -sf /usr/share/man/man1/bash.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/sh.1.gz
----
Any opinions?
Thanks,
Jan.
