ghc package and bash

When I install ghc on Jessie (7.6), usr/bin/ghc links to lib/ghc/bin/ghc, which is a script beginning with #!/bin/sh.


When installing on Stretch (7.10), usr/bin/ghc is a script beginning with #!/bin/bash. This fails on systems where bash has been removed (e.g. space-constrained or performance-sensitive servers).


Was this change intentional? Could it be reversed?


I'm getting by in the meantime by linking /bin/bash to /bin/sh during the package install.
