Bug#920694: apt-rdepends: Perl error on == interpreting --build-depends

[Steffen Moeller <moeller@debian.org>]

Package: apt-rdepends
Version: 1.3.0-6
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

I was interested in a dotty graph of build dependencies.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

apt-rdepends --build-depends -d bcbio

   * What was the outcome of this action?

Argument "Build-Depends" isn't numeric in numeric eq (==) at /usr/bin/apt-rdepends line 466.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

That error should not be given. Consequences on the correctness of the generated graph are  not clear.
