Package: lintian Version: 2.5.52 I added calls to dh_autotools-dev_{update,restore}config to the debian/rules for vile* in order to update/restore the config.guess/config.sub. I added a versioned build-dependency for the version of autotools-dev which added these commands:
autotools-dev (>= 20100122.1) lintian issued the folowing warning: W: vile source: useless-autoreconf-build-depends autotools-dev If I remove the dependency, lintian then gives the error: E: vile source: missing-build-dependency-for-dh_-command dh_autotools-dev_restoreconfig => autotools-dev * https://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/vile.git
