Yes, I understand this. We don't care at all about links or anything
in the filesystem; we are simply looking for an 'sh' package that
doesn't exist. Until namcap can do reverse provides matching (e.g.
look for a package that provides 'sh'), then this won't work. Of
course, you can always just make your package depend on 'sh'.

The depends module is extensive and has a lot to it, so this is not
going to be a quick/easy change.
