again -- i appreciate this is not very clear from the package name --
the "minimal-jail" set is not "a minimal jail".  it is the "minimal"
set, i.e. the set of packages required for a basic multi-user UNIX
system, but without packages which don't work in a jail.

we will never ship a set for a "minimal jail" because this is entirely
up to the user requirements.  there is *no* package which is absolutely
required to install a jail, because it depends on what you will install
in the jail.  so it doesn't make sense to ship any sort of package set
like this.

/bin/sh is not required for a jail.
