I agree with Alexander analysis.
bash should not have a postrm script.
I could reproduce the submitter bug even with a woody, whose postrm
script doesn't call remove-shell.
However, if I move the content of postrm into prerm (and remove postrm), I
can purge bash without any problem.
It looks like a bash bug to me.
(Also, I'm not really interested in coding {add,remove}-shhel in C, so I
will find whatever excuse not to do it ;)
