Why does it need such a new version of coreutils? (This, on the
other hand, might be something worth explaining in the changelog.)
This build-dependency makes the package unbuildable on i386, which
is stuck with an earlier version of coreutils.
I changed the dependency to coreutils from stable (>= 8.13-3.3).
Also, why does it need such a new version of bash?
Well, you didn't answer my questions. :)
How can I determine the correct version? Can I test it under oldstable
and make a dependency on its versions if the package works?
If this is the case, most likely you shouldn't (build-)depend on them at
all.
Quoting Lintian: "Packages do not need to depend on essential packages;
essential means that they will always be present. The only reason to
list an explicit dependency on an essential package is if you need a
particular version of that package, in which case the version should be
given in the dependency."
