I think you didn't understant at all what I meant.
I will explain better: I don't want to remove bash, I just want that the
unability to remove it comes from the fact that packages depends on it,
not from the fact that it is simply essential.
Obviosuly (or perhaps not so, since people talk about the
remove-essential flag of dpkg), if we make bash non-essential we would
have to add "Depends: bash" lines in many packages at the same
time (someone though otherwise?).
