Bash IS installed by ubuntu and is the default shell, it's
just not what it
uses for sh. It uses dash.  So if you put #!/bin/sh at the
top of a
cript you get dash running the script.  They also chose mawk
instead of
gawk, I changed that long ago, hence it didn't bite me.

There's nothing to stop you changing the symlink though, but
George's
recent changes make it work well by calling for bash
explicitly.
