Bug#492314: lintian: build depends on -1 revisions are fine
Package: lintian
Version: 1.24.2
Severity: normal
W: libapache2-mod-python source: build-depends-on-1-revision
build-depends: apache2-threaded-dev (>= 2.2.3-1)
While itis common to start packages / new verisons with a revision of
-1, there're also enough examples of the usage of -0 or similar
constructs.
According to policy this is fine, too, so lintian should not complain
here. I'd suggest change the warning into informational output, as it
indeed happends that there're are build-deps containing an unnecessary
revision.
Cheers,
Bernd
