Ah sorry, it wasn't that commit after all (I did wonder). It was probably
8ad611e557ffbeda7ec4e86480ff0218a23f68bd which causes some of the test packages
to build using dh build-arch:
rules-build-dep-pattern: make[1]: Entering directory `/tmp/lintian/debian/tests/rules-build-dep-pattern/rules-build-dep-pattern-1.0'
rules-build-dep-pattern: dh build-arch
rules-build-dep-pattern: dh: Unknown sequence build-arch (choose from: binary binary-arch binary-indep build clean install)
rules-build-dep-pattern: make[1]: *** [build-stamp] Error 9
rules-build-dep-pattern: make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/lintian/debian/tests/rules-build-dep-pattern/rules-build-dep-pattern-1.0'
rules-build-dep-pattern: dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules build gave error exit status 2
The dependency still needs to be on debhelper >= 8.1.0~ for that reason though
so the solution was right even if the reasoning wasnt.
