Subject: dish: Dependency on telnet but not telnet-client

Hi!

This package has a dependency on telnet (which denotes either a specific
implementation or in the future the default one), but not on the
generic telnet-client, which denotes any implementation.

Please change it to: telnet | telnet-client.

This was prompted while evaluating how to switch the current telnet
implementation in Debian, which is now in progress, although this is
not a blocker, as inetutils will provide telnet, but makes
alternative telnet implementations not able to satisfy the dependency.

Thanks,
Guillem
