A solution which is proposed in the BTS is to divert /bin/sh in the 
preinst of bash and remove the divertion after installation. I am 
not quite sure - I did not yet understand those divert stuff and 
sadly it is not properly documented. This was the only reason why 
I did not upload a new bash fixing the /bin/sh problem. 

In fact I asked for help on a few lists but never got any responses.
