It is no longer shipped in the package, which does not seem to be
intentional, as it is not mentioned in debian/changelog:

,----
| $ debdiff dash_0.5.8-2.5_i386.deb dash_0.5.8-2.7_i386.deb
| [The following lists of changes regard files as different if they have
| different names, permissions or owners.]
| 
| Files in first .deb but not in second
| -------------------------------------
| lrwxrwxrwx  root/root   /bin/sh -> dash
| lrwxrwxrwx  root/root   /usr/share/man/man1/sh.1.gz -> dash.1.gz
`----

Attached is a patch which puts the symlinks back into place.

Cheers,
       Sven
