Hi, Please devote bash from essential state to just any normal shell state. There is no need to have it in a that prominent position. Especially with regard to the recent security problems. We have dash in place for ages now. So there is no need for bash either. For the moment there are still some scripts that uses bash for no need. That would not change until bash is devoted to lower precedence. That scripts that really needs to use bash should mention that in the dependencies. I hope I found the right pseudo package for this bug. I even be not sure if it should be wishlist or normal (From my point of view it is wishlist but a very important wish).

reassign 763152 bash forcemerge 103284 763152 thanks It appears that the original reassign request didn't reach control@bugs.d.o - resending (minus severity wishlist for 103284, as it's already wishlist-ed). Regards, T.
