Package: lintian Version: 2.5.49 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
While improving the gnuift package (upload pending), I came across this lintian warning: W: gnuift source: outdated-autotools-helper-file config.guess 2004-03-12 (...) N: For packages using debhelper, the tools from the dh-autoreconf package N: should handle this issue. (...) Now config.guess is indeed that old, however my packaging depends on debhelper 10 which depends on autotools-dev and dh-autoreconf package. So all packages required to deal with the situation are available at build time, and it seems the above warning is a false alarm. Can you please review the check? My suggestion is to mute this warning if there's a build-dependency on debhelper (>= 10~). If however this still is an issue, the text needs a rewording since I have no idea how to proceed then.
