You are totally, completely, 100% missing the point.  We can't remove bash
from Essential because packages are silently using /bin/bash without
depending on bash, because they've been *told not to*.  This is not about
your hobby horse issue of whose /bin/sh is better, it's about the fact that
once an interface makes its way into Essential, we have a very hard time
removing it.
