Bug#261603: lintian: typo in depends-on-essential-package-without-using-version



Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.2
Severity: minor

The explanation of depends-on-essential-package-without-using-version
reads

    The package declares a depends on an essential package i.e. dpkg
    without using a versioned depends.

The "i.e." should be a "e.g.", and according to the rules known to me
the punctuation should be "... package, e.g. dpkg, without ...", but
there may be other rules in use as well.
