Package: cln
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 8.6

For some reason, cln's control file hardcodes all the dependencies; in
the case of libcln3c2 and pi, this is in violation of Policy 8.6,
which mandates using ${shlibs:Depends}, as produced by dpkg-shlibdeps
(or indirectly by dh_shlibdeps).

As a result, those binary packages lack an appropriate versioned
dependency on libc, and insist on libgmp3c2 when the pre-transition
libgmp3 package would do just as well.  (Really -- libgmp3c2 is
actually pure C, and just had a name change to mark the splitting out
of the C++ portions into a separate libgmp3xx package.)

In the case of libcln-dev, I believe the dependency on libc6-dev
should allow libc-dev as an alternative for the sake of exotic
architectures.
