Not sure if this change was reviewed later (I'm going through the backlog), 
but #!/bin/dash scripts were intentionally left REQUIRING a dependency on 
dash based on a concensus in -devel.
The goal is to leave /bin/sh as the Essential interface, and dash as a 
specific requirement. Perhaps we should have filed a bug against policy 
right-away...
