It's a compile-time choice/patch for each vendor.  /etc/bash.bashrc is
the file that Debian chose.  Other Linux distributions use /etc/bashrc
or some other file instead.

The correct way to point /bin/sh to bash instead of dash on Debian is
to run:  dpkg-reconfigure dash

It will prompt you for confirmation, so you can say "yes" (which is the
default) to keep things as they are.

The reason it asks in this way is historical: bash *used* to be the
default /bin/sh on Debian, many releases ago.  So it's asking you
whether you want to migrate to the new standard, using dash, under the
assumption that you were using bash before.
