    That's a big mistake.

    On any Debian system, /bin/sh points to /bin/dash, and dash
doesn't point to bash. Your system has certainly been hacked.

Yes, It has been hacked by me,

I could have installed dash but a symlink worked fine.



It works!
    Sure, bash can process ash scripts. The problem is the opposite
isn't true because bash provides a lot of additional features,
"bashisms", which distros decided to erradicate from their scripts.
Users are free to write bash or ksh scripts, but portable scripts must
execute on ash.
