Bug#294894: lintian: make-script-but-no-make-dep test should check for build-essential too



Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.8
Severity: normal

Hi,

I triggered this with the new wacom-kernel-source package
after updating a dependency on `make' to build-essential.

If this is going to be an error, it probably needs a list
of packages that depend on make which it should also check
before barking.

thanks!
Ron
