I didn’t, maybe debbugs did.

No, you don’t understand what I tried to write. The thing is, this
is about the *user* (the person calling the configure script) being
able to *override* the automatic mechanism to determine POSIX_SHELL
by setting CONFIG_SHELL to some value, forcing it to use it (if it
passes the tests).
Removing this ability will be A Bad Thing™.
