Package: libsensors3
Version: 1:2.10.8-1
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 2.5
Hi,
your package depends on "makedev" which is an "extra" packages.
That's a violation of Debian Policy 2.5:
"Packages must not depend on packages with lower priority values (excluding
build-time dependencies). In order to ensure this, the priorities of one or
more packages may need to be adjusted."
Moreover, this makes "makedev" un-uninstallable and so blocks the sysv-rc
conversion to dependency based boot.
Thanks to fix it,
Xav

This problem has been fixed into version 1:2.10.8-2, by removing the
both dependencies on udev and makedev, as it is now done in i2c-utils
postint.
