Testing in a chroot environment (base installation) with jed/experimental
and jed-extra_2.1.3:

* # which sh 
  /bin/sh

  # ls -l /bin/sh
  lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 4 Nov 18  2005 /bin/sh -> bash

  # /bin/sh -c 'false || true'; echo $?
  0


* dowgrade jed with aptitude:

  --\ Packages to be downgraded
  i A jed                                            +33.8kB 0.99.18-2  0.99.16-6

* again downgrade (with apt-get install jed/testing jed-extra/testing)

* Install new variant of jed and jed-extra with conflict moved from
  jed-common to jed and xjed:
  
  OK
  
  # dpkg -i jed*
