The packaging already has the lintian advice for calculating dependencies with debhelper but no such dependency is calculated. So is debhelper wrong here to not add (a completely redundant) dependency or is lintian wrong to not handle dependencies already listed? There really is no point adding the spurious dependency covered by this lintian warning. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
