Package: parallel Version: 20221122+ds-1 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Dear Maintainer,
ash is an empty compat package, and has been for a very long time ‒ it contains exclusively /bin/ash -> dash, and dash is essential ‒ the package description notes it as slated for deletion as soon as all users are eradicated: Description: compatibility package for dash This package allows upgrading ash to its replacement, dash. It includes the /bin/ash symlink. It can be removed as soon as /bin/ash is no longer used. parallel is the only thing that pops up in apt-cache rdepends ash, and this appears to have been added recently with no comment (6b67dfb1b7b0d32e7f537d1d39b78c3ecc55f0ba). Patch that removes the Suggests:, based on current Salsa, below. Cf. #920644.

ash ‒ which contains /bin/ash -> dash, the latter is essential ‒
has been an empty compat package for a long time,
explicitly noted as slated for deletion as soon as there are no longer
any users; parallel is the only active dependent, cf. #920644.
This partially reverts commit 6b67dfb1b7b0d32e7f537d1d39b78c3ecc55f0ba.
