Bug#237565: discover: Discover should not depend on ash

[sltam@int.mypem.com]

Package: discover
Version: 1.5-2
Severity: normal

discover has dependency:
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.2.ds1-4), libdiscover1, debconf (>> 0.5), ash | dash

But ash has dependency:
Pre-Depends: dash

So "ash | dash" is misleading.

Look at this example:

# apt-get install discover
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  ash dash discover discover-data libdiscover1

# apt-get install dash discover
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  dash discover discover-data libdiscover1

Should we put ash in Recommends or Suggests if it is not actually
required? Since discover is now used in d-i, it is no longer too
"optional". It would be better if we are more conservative in terms
of dependency.

Regards,
Alan
