I am not aware of such goal for the Debian project. What would be the motivation for Debian as a distribution? I am aware of embedded sub-projects wanting to strip the amount of essential packages to a minimum, but do not believe it is a good argument for throwing bash out of the essential set for the Debian distribution.
