Having the current debhelper be build-essential would fix the ~237
bugs lintian finds for build-deps on debhelper that should be
versioned, but aren't.
Aren't they (most) bogus anyway since the stable debhelper version is
new enough already?

Only in the sense that all (satisfiable) versioned Build-Dependencies are bogus.

I'm not sure whether that's a "true" or a "false" sense though. It seems a bit of both.
