1) The dash package asks if it should divert /bin/sh to itself during
installation. It is suggested in dash package (in README.Debian) since

2) Debian policy requires scripts with #!/bin/sh to be in POSIX shell.
Whenever anything with #!/bin/sh does not work in dash, it is promptly
reported as a bug.
