No, _postrm_ script calls remove-shell (just looked
into it at the moment).

Bullshit! /var/lib/dpkg/info/bash.postrm is _itself_
a script:

Or I don't understand something obvious? Seems that
bash wouldn't be removed inbetween `#! /bin/sh -e` ;)
and `/usr/sbin/remove-shell /bin/bash`

P.S. I can try removing bash at Monday (at work).
Will get much fun, I think. :) But some shell should be
present on system -- maybe _real Korn shell_ then? ;)
