Ohhhh, dear, if I would have written all the stuff where Github

Yes, it works without slurm. If it would really need slurm we would use
Recommends or even Depends. Suggests means that it might work better
under some circumstances. I'm just undecided because slurm itself needs
a bit more than just install the client package and you have immediate
advantage without more administration.
