Bug#935936: openssh-client should not depend on runit-helper



Package: openssh-client
Version: 1:8.0p1-5
Severity: normal

openssh-client 1:8.0p1-5 introduces a dependency on runit-helper. As the
*client* doesn't contain any runit script, it should not pull in any
such dependency. I'd guess that the dependency got added to every binary
package built from the openssh source package, rather than only to the
relevant binary package.

(The server really shouldn't have that dependency, either, on platforms
that don't have runit installed, but that's a separate problem. Is there
any particular reason runit-helper couldn't just become a dependency of
runit, and then handle all installed packages when you install runit?)
