Package: make-guile
Version: 4.2.1-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
debhelper recently added "Depends: make (>= 4~)" so that it can use
make's -O switch. If someone has make-guile installed, rather than
make, they will currently be unable to upgrade debhelper, since
make-guile Provides/Conflicts/Replaces make but doesn't use a versioned
Provides. Therefore, it can't satisfy a versioned Depends.
The attached patch causes make-guile to "Provides: make (=
${source:Version})" so that it can satisfy versioned Depends.
