This should increase revision, too.
That said, I'm not sure how I feel about it.
@void-linux/pkg-committers thoughts?

I don't particularly like it. I just tried zsh as sh, and while it works, it doesn't add anything, and doesn't even separate dotfiles.

Comment:
There is no discernible benefit to using `zsh` as `sh` and a lot of potential drawbacks. Substituting `bash` for `sh` is one thing; several popular distributions use `bash` as `sh` and a wide range of shell scripts with a `/bin/sh` shebang are probably widely deployed and well tested with `bash`. (I don't really like this; script writers who specify `/bin/sh` should make sure they aren't inadvertently relying on bashisms; this common practice leads to sloppiness.) I'm almost certain that the vast majority of shell scripts written for `/bin/sh` have *never* been tested when interpreted by `zsh`.
I vote against adding an alternative here.

I voted against the proposal. Let's not count the problem with current alternatives system, there are no real benefit but potential problems will arise with using zsh as `/bin/sh`

There's a closed pull request on the void-packages repository
zsh: add alternative for sh
https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/34540
Description:
#### Testing the changes
- I tested the changes in this PR: **YES**
The system boots and basic usage seems to work fine with zsh as `/bin/sh`.
#### Local build testing
- I built this PR locally for my native architecture, x86_64-glibc

FTR, 75b6b9bba68f57 iirc it was reverted because it actually broke something.
