Wait, don=E2=80=99t jump to the conclusions.  :-)

=E2=80=98bash-static=E2=80=99 is purposefully designed to stand alone: it m=
ust have zero
references:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ guix size bash-static
store item                                                       total    s=
elf
/gnu/store/nxysmfi9ybchnxfpxpmpgvz4f0nh7mxs-bash-static-4.3.42       1.4   =
  1.4 100.0%
total: 1.4 MiB
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

So this one is fine.
