Bug#898273: [lintian] Detect conflict between package.json version and debian control version

Getcha, I think. (to clarify, all devDependencies must be satisified
by Build-Depends.)

Did you see this bit? I didn't mention it at the time but I was more
thinking of version number requiremrents in particular. Some concrete
examples would be useful here over a natural language explanation.

Some clarification on what you mean by "conflict" would be useful
(versions..?). Again, concrete examples would appear to be the best
way forward.

Thank you for the kind offer, but it's easier for me to allocate my
time via email and, of course, this means that it is more likely that
more folks spot my regular mistakes :)


Best wishes,
