Yep, upstream switched to dc for the next release. Will become an
additional dependency in the next package. A lightweight one though.

Surely not for the upstream developer of dphys-swapfile. He collects
pocket calculators, and likes especially those with RPN. And I'm fine
with RPN and dc, too. :)
