It evidently creates problems for binary NMUs (where only the
arch-dependent packages are uploaded with an NMU revision in the
Source-Version). A workaround would be to add something like
dpkg-parsechangelog | perl -ne '\
s/^Version: /Indep-Version=/ or next;\
s/(-\d+\.\d+)\.d+$$/$$1/ && s/\.0$$//;\
print' >> debian/substvars
in debian/rules before the dh_gencontrol, and the use
Depends: pure-ftpd-common (=${Indep-Version}), ${shlibs:Depends}
instead. (Probably with some extra plumbing due to make the defn reach
the package-specific substvars files).
Such a construction ought to be used everytime one uses
=${Source-Version} to refer to an arch-independent package.
There really ought to be some stock magic in {dpkg-,dh_}gencontrol
for this, but currently there isn't.
