If a packaged shell script uses #!/bin/sh and doesn't work with bash, that is a bug. You can experience such bugs when they exist by reconfiguring dash to make /bin/sh point to bash. If a packaged shell script uses #!/bin/dash and the package doesn't declare a dependency on dash, that is arguably a bug. Anyway, it's easy to search for. I don't think these are what is blocking making dash and bash optional. A harder problem is making sure the removal path is safe. If you have a set of patches that takes care of that, we'd be happy to look at it. Is the size of dash a problem for you?
