util-linux is an essential package. previously mountpoint was shipped by initscripts, a quasi-essential package. You can only remove them by force. Packages can use tools from essential packages without having to depend on it. So there is no bug here, but a simple user error. You shouldn't have removed util-linux. -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
