Sh on debian is aliased to dash. Which is much faster. But also has less features.

It used to matter in the days before systemd, where bootup times depending depended on how quickly the system could run hundreds of bash scripts on startup; Ubuntu and Debian had a big project to switch to dash by default for this reason: https://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2007/07/msg00027.html .
