Yes, if the script is portable, sticking with /bin/sh is entirely reasonable, 
and ought to work just fine with Linux systems who have Bash as their /bin/sh.

It's reasonable to make a symlink from /bin/bash to /usr/local/bin/bash, just 
so long as nothing tries to use Bash before /usr is mounted when the system 
starts up...
