Package: subnetcalc
Version: 2.1.3-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

The current ‘subnetcalc’ package has a “Recommends: iputils-ping”
dependency. But that is not the only package providing a compatible ‘ping’
program; any package that “Provides: ping” should be able to satisfy the
needs of ‘subnetcalc’.

The result of the current dependency is that if a different package
providing ‘ping’ is already installed, this dependency cannot be satisfied
without removing the existing package.

Please broaden this dependency to “Recommends: iputils-ping | ping”.
