Dear Mert, dear Rogério, sorry for the long delay. After roughly skimming through the related bugs that I found (#518696, #597050, #665851, #749355, #718816), I would like to sum up before proposing a possible solution:
- There is a simple namespace conflict (/usr/bin/parallel). Even
though it looks like a simple technical issue it seems to be an even
bigger social one.
- The 'default' namespace conflict solution using the alternatives
mechanism is considered harmful due to incompatible command line
options and functionality between both implementations.
- According to `apt-cache rdepends` there are packages that have
dependencies to moreutils (cacti, debci, git-notifier, etc.) and to
parallel (last-align).
As far as I have found, the package depending on GNU parallel does
all 'parallel' calls with the '--gnu' option. moreutils' parallel
does not have any option that not also understood by GNU parallel.

Please help me: did I get it right? Have I missed something important?
Kind regards,
Nicolas
PS: I might be a little bit inresponsive, due to that my personal
MacBook got a juice shower and currently starts only with bottoms up
and jump pad touching...
