To amend that, I make a symlink /bin/sh = /bin/dash .
But every time bash update, it overwrite the link.


I think the correct course of action would be to put /bin/sh under
control of the alternatives system.

I am not in favour of /bin/sh being alternatives-able. The *proper*course of action is to use the shebang for the script interpreter yourequire, i.e. /bin/dash.
