Description:
As of
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/arch_filesystem_hierarchy#.2Fbin:_Essential_command_binaries_.28deprecated.29
"all packages should be updated to explicitly install to /usr/bin."
When running chsh it seems that the default shell is the deprecated /bin/bash instead of the "new" /usr/bin/bash, though there is a bash executable in /usr/bin. /usr/bin/bash isn't even available in /etc/shells.
Shouldn't that be changed?

Additional info:
latest arch;
"chsh -l" / "cat /etc/shells" output:
> /bin/sh
> /bin/bash


Steps to reproduce:
chsh -l
This task depends upon

/bin/bash is the standard and works.
