No, I don't agree with that statement. I'd be more inclined to believe 
that it's a bug in the command-line interface that doesn't allow you to 
do what the GUI does.

The default installation package selected by the GUI is by no means a 
minimally useful one, and there are many reasons why one might want to 
install fewer packages than it includes. Being able to do so hardly 
seems like a bug.

Frankly, I was surprised the dependency tree for bash was so large. Bash 
depends on texinfo? I see the chain that gets you there, but it still 
surprised me.
