Well, finally I made it configurable. I've committed a patch to the
Tramp repository, which allows you to overwrite parameters in
tramp-methods. Something like this:

(add-to-list 'tramp-connection-properties
             (list (regexp-quote "/ssh:address@hidden:")
                   "remote-shell" "/bin/ksh"))
(add-to-list 'tramp-connection-properties
             (list (regexp-quote "/ssh:address@hidden:")
                   "remote-shell-login" '("-")))

This might be useful for other parameters in tramp-methods as well, an
issue raised often on this list.

Best regards, Michael.
