I'd vote to simply prompt the user for verification before removing an
essential package. Actually, apt did this at the start, saying that getty
would be removed, but it didn't mention libreadline2. I would have backed
up bash and libreadline if libreadline was on the list of packages being
removed.
A whole days worth of downloading for that, shucks.
