Bug#522613: lintian: false positive package-lacks-versioned-build-depends-on-debhelper 6 (5.0.44 is new enough)
Package: lintian Version: 2.2.9 Severity: normal Lintian reports problems with debhelper dependency when using 6 in compat and build-depending on debhelper version 5.0.44. Debhelper itself claims support for compat version 6 in its changelog entry for version 5.0.44, which is the reason this version was used in CDBS dependency resolving.

The changelog for 5.0.44 says introducing beginning of v6 mode which is somewhat weaker than support for compat version 6 imo. v6 mode was not finalised until the release of debhelper 6.0.0, as is the custom with debhelper versioning, so I believe Lintian is correct here. Depending on debhelper 5.0.44 will give you some v6 functionality, but by no means all of it.

Debhelper itself claims support for compat version 6 in its changelog entry for version 5.0.44, which is the reason this version was used in CDBS dependency resolving. I think this is wrong and CDBS should be fixed. There is clear documentation in the debhelper man page: Once your package uses debhelper to build, be sure to add debhelper to your Build-Depends line in debian/control. You should build-depend on a version of debhelper equal to (or greater than) the debhelper compatibility level your package uses. So if your package used compatibility level 7: Build-Depends: debhelper (= 7) 5.0.44's changelog says: * Introducing beginning of v6 mode. and 6.0.0 says: * debhelper v6 mode is finalised and is the new recommended compatibility level. What this means is that all v6 features were *not* available in 5.0.44; 5.0.44 was still being developed at that time. Therefore, if you declare compat level 6 and only have debhelper 5.0.44 installed, your package may not build or may produce broken results. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-lint-maint-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

I will fix my 70+ packages having too weak dependency, and reassign this bugreport to cdbs (where I will most probably fix it myself - I help maintain that package, am to blame to relaxing that very dependency hint).
