Package: debhelper
Version: 11.1.6
Severity: wishlist

When backporting libpam-mount from experimental to stable, the only change I 
needed was

    -Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 11), …
    +Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 11~), …

The tilde allows ~bpo versions of debhelper to satisfy the constraint.

The debhelper(5) manpage suggestion has no tilde.
Can it have a tilde?
