Hi Steffen, and thanks for your bugreport,

That's a bug.

In my opinion, the Essential set of packages should stay as minimal as
possible. The things in that set are what is absolutely needed to run a
Debian system and I don't consider lsb-base to qualify to that.

So at least _I_ am not going to push this change (hence tagging as
wontfix) but wouldn't block people pushing it.

Cheers,
