Okay, so I found "/config/preseed/" and put a file "dash.cfg.chroot"
there. In the live environment, however, /bin/sh still points to
/bin/dash. :-(

When I check the output of "debconf-get-selections | grep dash", it
shows "dash    dash/sh boolean false", so the configuration data is
getting carried over into the live system, but it doesn't get applied.

Which step am I missing?
