Perhaps, but it's hardly Ubuntu's fault if vendors are shipping scripts with 
#! /bin/sh
when they need bash.

I'm surprised to find this change to a dash default, since absolutely
nothing has broken on my system.

I'm more surpised to find that sh is NOT controlled via the alternatives
system!  _That_ is a bug.
