Actually, bash does.  But as of my most recent build, it only ensures that
/dev/stdin and friends exist (hmm, I haven't validated whether that still
works with /etc/fstab...).  In other words, now that /bin/sh is unpacked
prior to any postinstall scripts, it no longer matters whether other
packages' postinstalls run before or after bash, unless their postinstall
wants to use /dev/stdin (unlikely).
