The policy around expert mode is that it should not change the
installation behaviour in itself. Answering default to extra questions
in expert mode should result in the same installation as normal ones.
As dash already as a debconf questions, the implementation of such
behaviour is pretty straightforward: d-i should install dash.
If dash is promoted as part of the base system, it will be installed
without any changes from the d-i team. The other candidate that would
trigger such installation that I can think of is the "standard" task of
tasksel.
I think I would object any implementation that would require more
specific changes in d-i itself.
