My point is: installing debian package needs the debian base system

While policy currently has bash in the base system, it might not always.

$() is supported by all POSIX shells. It's not a bashism.

Why does there is no way around this lead it should work with any
/bin/sh?

Most of the other packages don't work without libc6,

No. It's required package.

I do not understand why you refuse to add this dependency
to the control file.

Package: libc6

Hi folks,
libc6 depends on bash (see /var/lib/dpkg/info/libc6.preinst),
but doesn't list it in the Depends list. Would it be possible
to fix the package header?

PS.: Maybe you could consider to use /bin/sh instead?
This would make it easier to setup a minimum system
based upon dash or ash, for example. Most packages
use /bin/sh for their dpkg scripts, as it seems.
