Ah, I'm sorry, I must have misunderstood your comments in #597050.  
I took them for an objection, rather than a request for help.

In that case you would not object to the upload of GNU parallel with
/usr/bin/parallel and a Replaces against current moreutils, and to an
NMU of moreutils to do the transition as I proposed ?

Thanks,
Ian.
