Description:

gzip 1.12-3 update made less an optional dependency, which means less is not installed with base package anymore.
So the question raises: is less essential enough to be added into base explicitly?

Additional info:
* package version(s):
gzip 1.12-3
less 1:643-1
This task depends upon

For most people it would still get pulled in by man-db.
