A re-examination of the #!/bin/ash reveals one source package ‒ frr ‒ in a file which is not installed on Debian and which upstream has since changed to #!/bin/bash: https://github.com/FRRouting/frr/blob/3728cc8e12c7504b0508ccd4008516e839a2bf18/docker/alpine/docker-start
The DCS search for bare /bin/ash returns 15 pages of results,
but the first page (since it doesn't appear to paginate),
is all comments and magick recognition.
The only package that depends on ash is
$ apt-cache rdepends ash
ash
Reverse Depends:
parallel
And that is
$ apt info parallel
Package: parallel

So the Suggests: on ash can just be dropped there, I'll post a patch.
May it make sense to get rid of the ash package for bullseye+2?
Best,
