Version: 2.6.14-16
Tags: patch
Usertags: debconf-2.0-missing

Dear gcl maintainer,

gcl declares a constraint on the allowed versions of debconf. This constrained version is extremely old and thus not needed. More importantly, its presence blocks `dh_installdebconf` from adding to `${misc:Depends}` the proper set of dependencies needed to support debconf-2.0/cdebconf.

The attached patch fixes this issue.

Regards,
