Apparently not.  But even if there were, it would trigger the file
conflict in #538822 because *both dash and bash* ship /bin/sh now.
AFAICS the only possibility to have another package take over /bin/sh is
to remove it from either dash or bash.

Do you have an idea how to implement that?  Managing /bin/sh through the
alternatives system does not seem very prudent.
