Bug#632550: lintian needs newer debhelper

[Mark Hymers <mhy@debian.org>]

Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Hi,

Commit 1f2f20b9973bbea25f10372f5d951216f7379fbe added build-arch support
to debian/rules which cases a FTBFS with debhelper versions older than
8.1.0  (noticed when backporting to squeeze).

Could you bump the debhelper version requirement please?

Patch attached, thanks,

Mark
