We do, in the form of "something | ${PAGER:-less}".
On Debian, "less" is Priority "standard" and my understanding is
that the only thing we can (and should if I recall correctly)
omit from the dependency list is the packages of Priority
"essential", so technically we are required to list "less" as
our dependency. I do not know about RPM/Fedora.
