That's a dependency loop that can lead to indeterminate
ordering and install failures in critically important packages.
In fact, with erase-before-install /bin/sh will be removed, bash won't
install, and you ain't gonna get too much use out of Linux without /
bin/sh ...
Adding (post) doesn't even begin to solve the packaging issue.
Very not good.
