It would work for me.  I can whip out dash-0.5.5.1-2 to provide the ash
hardlink; do you want me to also do the work of providing the empty ash
package in the _obsolete category, or do you still want to do that as ash
maintainer (along with coordinating the two uploads)?

Also, I found a patch online that purports to add LINENO support to dash,
and I am currently playing with it to see how well it behaves.
