Package: lintian Version: 2.3.4 Severity: minor
When using in debian/rules: override_<CH_COMMAND>: Lintian displays warnings: debhelper-overrides-need-versioned-build-depends (>= 7.0.50~) if debian/control reads: Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 7) SUGGESITON The warning is naturally correct, but taken at face value, the version number (while it may be technically correct) is not very descriptive to the reader: Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 7.0.50~) The debhelper is already in version of 7.4.15 in Debian/testing, so perhaps the message could be relaxed to a nearest "round" number: debhelper-overrides-need-versioned-build-depends (>= 7.1) -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-trunk-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_DK.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_DK.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.20.1-2 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii diffstat 1.47-1 produces graph of changes introduc ii dpkg-dev 1.15.5.6 Debian package development tools ii file 5.04-1 Determines file type using "magic" ii gettext 0.17-10 GNU Internationalization utilities ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710.1 Help i18n of RFC822 compliant conf ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.24 Perl interface to libapt-pkg ii libclass-accessor-perl 0.34-1 Perl module that automatically gen ii libipc-run-perl 0.84-1 Perl module for running processes ii libparse-debianchangel 1.1.1-2 parse Debian changelogs and output ii libtimedate-perl 1.2000-1 collection of modules to manipulat ii liburi-perl 1.52-1 module to manipulate and access UR ii locales 2.10.2-6 Embedded GNU C Library: National L ii man-db 2.5.7-2 on-line manual pager ii perl [libdigest-sha-pe 5.10.1-11 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction lintian recommends no packages.
