In particular it's $PAGER, and it defaults to less. But I'm not sure
whether we should add a suggests to it -- it rather seems like if you
really have a minimal system without any pager, then you probably have
a good reason for it. Also, systemd is installed by default, so
chances are high that a user would never actually see the suggestion.
So I'm inclined to wontfix and/or close this. But this isn't a strong
opinion, adding a Suggests: less is fairly harmless after all.
