Dear Maintainer,

Debian provides two parallel executables.
One from the parallel package (gnu parallel) and one from the moreutils
package.


When both packages are installed, /usr/bin/parallel is gnu parallel, and
/usr/bin/parallel.moreutils is parallel from the moreutils package.

If only moreutils has been installed, then /usr/bin/parallel is parallel
from the moreutils package.

This makes scripts depending on gnu parallel more brittle and
error-prone between Debian installations then they need to be.

If the package parallel would also provide /usr/bin/parallel.gnu, even
if moreutils is also not installed, then using gnu parallel can be made
easier between Debian machines.



NOTE: I've opened
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1107381 asking
moreutils to provide parallel.moreutils on its own.
