On red hat distros /bin/sh is a symlink to your current shell. So if you are running bash /bin/sh is linked to /bin/bash. Try creating that link to /bin/bash as I believe debian will use the dash shell by default.

by default you are logged in /bin/bash so you can change the shell to /bin/sh

from the shell

Code:

#echo $SHELL
/bin/bash

to check the current shell

now to change the shell

Code:

#/bin/sh
#echo $SHELL

if you want the shell to be sh everytime you login then

Code:

#chsh -s /bin/sh
