The shell you run interactively (specified per-user in /etc/passwd) is usually bash, because it's more friendly for interactive use. Dash is smaller and lighter, and chosen presumably for that reason to run most of the system scripts, which use /bin/sh explicitly. /bin/sh used to be bash - Ubuntu switched first, I think - leading to all sorts of interesting bugs with bash-specific features in scripts ...
