Bug#1009936: dash: dpkg-reconfigure does not prompt to ask whether dash should be the system shell

[Azure]

Package: dash
Version: 0.5.11+git20210903+057cd650a4ed-8
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I noticed by /bin/sh was pointing to dash rather than bash, and tried
to use dpkg-reconfigure dash to change it (as suggested in the
NEWS.Debian.gz file).

It didn't prompt me and the /bin/sh link to dash remained. I tried
using dpkg-divert to remove it manually which worked, but when I tried
dpkg-reconfigure dash again it just put the diversion back in place.

(I removed and set the link manually after that, which is why the
Shell line says by /bin/sh is /usr/bin/bash.)

Thank you.
