Lintian gives me this error:

E: cupsys-driver-gimpprint: depends-on-essential-package-without-using-version gzip
N:
N:   The package declares a depends on an essential package i.e. dpkg
N:   without using a versioned depends. In general a package should not
N:   depend on essential packages but if it must do so, the depends should
N:   have a version string.
N:
N:   Refer to Policy Manual, section 2.3.4 for details.
N:

Policy section 2.3.4 doesn't exist, and I can't see it in Section 7,
either.  Does this still apply, and if so, where is it in the Policy
Manual?

I'll remove the dependency next time I upload, but I'd like to know
where the requirement comes from.


Thanks,
Roger
