Good point, though note:

Bug#597050: moreutils: parallel is obsolete - linux.debian.bugs ...

http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:IFdRZLJJUMIJ:groups.google.com/group/linux.debian.bugs.dist/browse_thread/thread/b07692baed303fc7+linux+parallel+moreutils&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=uk&lr=lang_es|lang_en&client=firefox-a


####
Package: moreutils
Version: 0.41
Severity: wishlist

Please retire the parallel program in favor of the far more featurful
GNU Parallel package:

http://www.gnu.org/software/parallel/
