Since many packages include shell scripts for pre- or post-inst operations, or even for run-time set-up, it seems reasonable to define some kind of subset of commands and some version of a standard shell. Without going overboard, of course. Similarly for scripting languages, if you're writing a Python app it's important to know that Python 2.7.x won't be on any MeeGo device.
