Complain to the script authors who are making the mistake.  Dash has
been a viable provider of /bin/sh (by way of debconf on the dash
package) for a long time.  There are other shells that provide 'sh'
functionality too.  If a script really requires /bin/bash then it needs
to start with #!/bin/bash.

Analogy:  If I needed a square, I would not ask you for a rectangle.
Although you might give me the square that I need, since that would
fulfill my stated rectangle requirements, it is not guaranteed.

People who need /bin/bash should not ask for /bin/sh and hope that the
result they get just happens to be /bin/bash.  I have used dash as my
/bin/sh for over a year now.  It is insanely faster, especially for huge
shell scripts such as 'configure' in large projects.
