This clearly shouldn't happen, and breaks the whole system, hence critical
severity. It is believed to have been fixed in 0.5.8-2.9, which is
currently being processed on the buildds.
Andrew, when you're uploading an Essential package (and doubly so when
it's an NMU), please test your changes thoroughly before uploading; and
when making packaging changes like these (moving files around, changing
between non-debhelper and debhelper, changing debhelper compat level,
etc.), please use a binary debdiff to check for unexpected results.
I think this indicates that dash should have an autopkgtest that verifies
that everything necessary for a working /bin/sh is where it ought to be.
