But providing files for the skeleton doesn't mean that using it (through
useradd) is in any way required.

I don't think that was a sensible dep. Bash doesn't need useradd or
anything else. You may set up a working linux system with bash and no
user accounts.
It is, rather, the pwdutils which require bash files in /etc/skel to
initialize user accound in a reasonable way, when shell of the user is
set to /bin/bash. Still it is not such a hard dependency which should go
to package meta-data.
