debian doesn't provide package for classic ash, ASH packages in it is
"Compatibility package for the Debian Almquist Shell".
So, I'm not sure that Debian startup scripts work with classic ash correctly
even if If I install it from sources.

If you really prefer to support pkgsrc on "coherent" platforms only,
modify pkgsrc guide section 3.3.5 and mention that DASH is NOT compatible
with pkgsrc version of libtool.
