There is nothing like making it a release goal that would result in it
getting magically getting fixed in all packages automatically.
Conversion to only using /bin/sh functionality has happened for most
init scripts many years ago, and the few scripts that use /bin/bash
tend to have a reason for using it.
As an example, the only init script using /bin/bash on my system is
from tor.
The changelog of the tor package says:
* Use bin/bash for the init script instead of bin/sh. We are using
ulimit -n which is not POSIX (closes: #338797).
