Please consider adding an option to install dash as /bin/sh in expert mode for beta2

Hi eveyrbody,

Would it be possible to add an extra page to d-i in expert mode to install
dash and configure it as the default /bin/sh?
dash uses a debconf prompt to install itself as sh, so there's no big stuff
that needs to be done.

The reasoning is that the "/bin/sh won't always be bash" momentum must not
be lost just because the dash as the default /bin/sh change won't make it
for lenny. The number of goal-dash bugs will hopefully reduce before lenny
is released, making it even safer to use dash as sh without breaking stuff.

Please consider this proposal, and thank you in advance.

Kind regards,
