Title:
  /bin/sh is set to dash, and dpkg-reconfigure doesn't change it

Status in dash package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Prior to 22.10 you could set /bin/sh to be bash (not dash) by using
  "dpkg-reconfigure dash".

  This functionality has disappeared in 22.10, as the dash.config file
  is no longer in /var/lib/dpkg/info (dash.templates has also
  disappeared).

  Is this intentional?

  I can see no mention of it in the release notes for 22.10.

  (Several third party products seem to assume that sh is bash building
  them, so this removal will be annoying).
