I am the person responsible for this problem. In fact the problem was that people did not want the bash package to override their /bin/sh link so it had to be removed from the package.
Those people need to learn to use diversions (and yes, you can divert a symlink). The last thing we need is /bin/sh out of dpkg's control.
