Package: lintian Version: 2.5.52 Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-CC: Clint Adams <cl...@debian.org>
Hi! As part of the long transition to split sensible-utils out from debianutils, the remaining Depends from debianutils was removed recently in version 4.8.2. I asked Clint whether he could send a mail with the current callers so that they'd be aware of the change and they could fix it, but thinking about it, it seems more effective and easier to let lintian check this, as this should be a local and trivial (?) thing to check for. Any package that contains references to one of the sensible-utils binary in non-documentation pathnames/filenames, and does not have any kind of relationship (Pre-Depends/Depends/Recommends/Suggests) would get a warning. This way we do not need to care whether the program is using it conditionally or not. :) Thanks, Guillem
