Hi,

Currently, there's debhelper 11~bpo9+1 in Stretch. However, mostly everyone
build-depends on debhelper (>= 11), making it impossible to use the backported
debhelper without fixing the debhelper version of the software to backport.

It'd be nice if Lintian was warning about this, and nicely suggesting to build-
depend on version 11~, to allow backports.

Cheers,

Thomas Goirand (zigo)
