I don't know how much it would break things, but I do like linking sh
to dash in general. Just change the initscripts to use #!/bin/bash
instead of /bin/sh (Which they should anyway if they don't, as they
use bashisms)

If you make sure all the bash-specific scripts are properly she-banged
it shouldn't matter, since dash as sh should only be needed during an
install (if I understand correctly)

So +1 from me.
