which is in the "base" group, so is expected to be installed on all systems.

Sorry to say this but expecting everyone to have every single package in base installed is really anti-KISS.

What's next? Depending on bash because we have a shell script? Having kernels depend on grub because you might not have installed a bootloader? Having dependencies on ifconfig for webbrowsers because the user might need that for network?
Which is a basic command available on each and every system, unless the user decided to remove it. If the user decides to remove base packages, it's his responsibility to cope with the loss of functionality.
