Hm, you're right, it was discussed before:

https://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2014-02/msg00696.html

I don't know if there was consensus, but the last word there from CGF was
that shell packages should run a postinstall step to add themselves to
/etc/shells.

That seems reasonable. There are questions about the right way to do it,
but I'll ask those in a separate thread.

Thanks,
Andrew
