Avoiding building bash seems like quite an overreaction.  I'd say
merge the recipes and split the packages up so that bash isn't a
mandatory requirement, maybe even using PACKAGECONFIG if that is
useful.

In related news I've been meaning to gut the alsa-utils recipe as
that's the last recipe that actually depends on gtk2.
