Bug#699172: vim: Shell syntax does not know dash and so uses error highlighting everywhere

Package: vim
Version: 2:7.3.547-6
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
The .sh syntax file in vim 7.3 tries to find out which shell /bin/sh
points at and adapts appropriately. It does not know dash, and so it
falls back to some ground state where a lot of POSIX shell syntax is
marked with 'Error' highlighting.
Reproduce:
vim -u NORC -U NORC --cmd 'filetype plugin indent on' -N /etc/init.d/rc
:syntax on
vim will mark constructs like $(uname) and ${s#/etc/rc$runlevel.d/K} as
errors.
the sh syntax file should be adapted to know that dash is a posix shell.
regards,
