Bug#344421: lintian: bogus missing-debconf-dependency when using dbconfig-common

[Marcus Better <marcus@better.se>]

Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.14
Severity: normal

I have a package which uses dbconfig-common but has no debconf
templates of its own. Lintian gives two warnings: no-debconf-templates
and missing-debconf-dependency.

Both of these seem to be bogus. My package depends on dbconfig-common
(which in turn depends on debconf), so it should be correct if I am
not mistaken.
