Package: munin-plugins-core
Version: 2.0.25-1
Severity: normal

The jessie version of munin-node/http_loadtime plugin contains the following 
code:

#!/bin/bash
…
time_bin=`which time`
if [ "$1" = "autoconf" ]; then
    result="yes"
    command -v $time_bin 2>&1 >/dev/null || result=1
… etc.

This contains a bug: if the time binary is not installed, $time_bin will be
empty, but "command -v" doesn't fail. Hence the plugin mistakenly believes that
the time binary is installed, leading to failures later when it tries to pass
the "--quiet" option to the time builtin command.

The bug is present in sid as well.

Beside fixing the issue here, it would be good if the package suggests the time
command.
