We pull in XML libraries, python, perl, tls, not to mention that the
cluster will usually be hosting an actual application or several, but
then try to not require bash - a package which is smaller than even the
heartbeat package.

That is, sorry, a complete waste of time.  I never understood why the
project even bothered, and figure it must be some archaic time where
bash was not universally available.

Just put bash into the default dependencies and be done with it.

Sorry if that sounds harsh, but we really have more important topics ;-)
