Debian uses dash actually, not bash. I rather prefer it that way since dash is strictly POSIX compliant. Takes some of the tediousness out of creating portable shell scripts.

/bin/sh on debian is dash, but the default interactive shell is still bash (sorry for nitpicking).

Debian uses dash as /bin/sh, but newly-created accounts default to /bin/bash as their login shell.
