OK, apache2 depends on Bash to function (/etc/init.d/apache2). This
must mean that Debian cannot distribute Apache 2 and Bash together (at
least we would have to remove Bash from Essential). In addition,
apache2 explictly depends on Lynx, which is GPL'd, as is net-tools,
which also is a dependency to apache2.

And Java programs run on various non-GPL Java runtimes in addition to
Kaffe.
