I have now reverted this, as I see no benefit from restricting beyond
v6, and the newer version makes backporting harder.
The dependency for debhelper 6 was too loose, however. This was
recently fixed in CDBS, and I updated the locally shipped CDBS snippet
to include cleanup for that as well).

The package is not currently compliant with that version: Source package
lacks a README.source describing unusual packaging routines.
I will add such file that I have already prepared at
git://git.debian.org/git/collab-maint/cdbs-skel.git
There are still some lintian-warnings which should be fixed

I deliberately choose to ignore that: Debian Policy does not say that
the package "should" use -Indep, but that when using the -Indep build
targets the dependencies must be met.
The following note, found in /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/buildcore.mk, shed
some more light on the issue:

Agreed, this would be nice to have fixed. Help appreciated.
