Bash is an "Essential" package. You're on yourself if you remove that (or any other "Essential") package. Being an "Essential" package means that this package is guaranteed to be installed and no package needing bash needs to declare a dependency explicitly. The current bash issue though raises the demand for making bash a non-essential package, so maybe making the bash package non-essential should become a release goal for Jessie+1.
