Comment 5 for bug 1829370

So it seems we have two optional tasks identified that could be done in this context:
- e2fsprogs
  - break fsprogs from e2fsprogs
  - then make the main e2fsprogs non essential
  - remove e2fsprogs from e.g. container images
- drop essential flag from bash
  - is dash considered compatible enough? could we drop bash in containers then?

What about #2 (diffutils):
- I assume it might be needed in the apt/dpkg context to diff show old/new config?
- If that is true could it detect if diff is missing and then fall back to not show the user the
  delta of conffiles?
- Then this could be dropped as well from most minimal images
