Package: dict
Version: 1.10.2-3
Severity: normal

On a new box, I tried dictl and it failed complaining about a missing "less".

Looking in the source I found less hardcoded as last ressort in the pager
choice algorithm:

  if test -z "$DICTL_PAGER"; then
       DICTL_PAGER=less
  fi

OTOH, the less package has Priority: standard and not required, so I would
ask to

 * either make dict either depend on or recommend less, or

 * make dictl independent of less
