Hi,

I just stumbled upon this bug while installing munin-node on a Stretch
machine.

It seems due to the fact that the "time" package used to be Priority:
standard, whereas in Stretch it's now Priority: optional.

"time" is also a shell keyword in bash (but not in dash), and this one
doesn't understand the "-f" option. So, despite the fact that the plugin
uses /bin/bash in its shebang, it does indeed need the real "time"
binary from the "time" package.

The plugin could also be patched to throw an error at some point if the
"$time_bin" variable is empty, but it would be much easier (and useful)
to just add the dependency.

Regards,
