Nope, Ubuntu has for a long time used /bin/sh -> dash, I believe because
this results in a significant speed increase during boot due to the
large number of script invocations in init.d, and the fact that dash
boots something like ten times faster than bash.

I have the same setup on Debian, FWIW.  ISTR hearing talk of Debian
making dash the default /bin/sh (after Lenny?).

It sounds to me like the OP would be better off just installing bash and
changing the shebang to #!/usr/local/bin/bash or whatever.
