Hmm, not necessarily.
I use crux, which has in it
name=coreutils
version=5.0
release=1
source=(http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/gnu/$name/$name-$version.tar.bz2)

and it supplies /bin/true

so using bash I get:

clare at wombat:~$ which true
/bin/true
clare at wombat:~$ type true
true is a shell builtin
clare at wombat:~$ echo $BASH_VERSION
2.05b.0(1)-release

All part of the fun I guess
cheers
