On my unstable box I received dash a few days ago, because an upload of
bash started depending on it. After upgrading dash to 0.5.5.1-2.2 today,
/bin/sh is still bash. Presumably this means unstable users are going to
have to dpkg-reconfigure dash to get any benifit from this change?

For unstable users, this kinda defeats the point of pushing such a
change.
