Bug#247171: lintian: build-dep-w/o-arch-dep still problematic

["Aaron M. Ucko" <ucko@debian.org>]

Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.0
Severity: normal

E: dictionary-el source: build-depends-without-arch-dep

This is bogus for two reasons:

* It should be at most a warning, as failing to specify Build-Depends: can
  cause FTBFS bugs whereas using it is never particularly harmful, just
  sometimes overkill.

* The logic to exempt packages that use debhelper is too simplistic; in
  particular, it ignores the possibility of using debhelper via CDBS (by 
  including /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/debhelper.mk), as dictionary-el does.
