Yes, this is a bug! Please report it. Even more, we had a BIG discussion of this issue and dicided to have an alternatives for /bin/sh link (like bash, ash, pdksh). A few developers even expressed desire to remove "essential" flag from bash, that is every package that uses bash would have to declare explicit dependency on it.
