Only the first part of this sentence is true. Indeed there will always be a diversion, but if a diversion had existed before that was _not_ created by the dash package, the preinst won't change it. Thus, both the bash and the dash versions of /usr/share/man/man1/sh.1.gz (and /bin/sh) would be diverted which raises the file conflict. A possible solution would be to skip the [ -z "$div" ] test in the preinst and always add dash's diversions, but this might run into bug #273093¹.
