Bug#557431: general: there is no package to install all POSIX utilities at once

[Dmitri Vorobiev <dmitri.vorobiev@gmail.com>]

Package: general
Severity: wishlist


Currently no package exists that would allow installation of all
utilities specified by the POSIX `Shell and utilities' volume:

http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/idx/utilities.html

It is considered useful to have such a package, and one such
package was actually created:

This bug is to suggest inclusion of this or a similar package
into Debian operating system.
