Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.14
Severity: wishlist

I've been doing a couple of backports recently, and one error I frequently had to deal with were Build-Dependencies that include the debian revision number unnecessarily.
I.e. they depend on somelib (>= 1.23-1) while there never was a 1.23-0
but it is a best practice for backports to use 1.23-0backport1 (so they will be upgraded when possible)

The check is easy, I guess emitting a warning on any version number ending
in -1 is appropriate. There may be a few cases where this warning is
incorrect (e.g. there was a NMU which introduced a broken .h file, and this
was fixed in the -1 revision by the maintainer) but they're very unlikely
I think.

Changes: 
 lintian (1.23.44) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   The "I can't release a quick fix without *some* other work" release.
 .
   * checks/binaries:
     + [RA] Make an architecture specification after perlapi optional.
       Thanks, gregor herrmann.  (Closes: #464626)
   * checks/copyright-file{.desc,}:
     + [RA] Check the copyright file to ensure it contains at least one
       copyright statement with a date or the term "public domain".  It's
       hard to be thorough without false positives, but this should catch
       the most obvious omissions.  Thanks, Justin Pryzby and Jari Aalto.
       (Closes: #286842, #409131)
   * checks/fields:
     + [RA] Warn of build-dependencies on a Debian revision of -1.  They
       make backporting unnecessarily difficult.  Thanks, Erich Schubert.
       (Closes: #345487)
   * checks/po-debconf:
     + [RA] Accept three-character language codes for po files.  Thanks,
       Patrick Winnertz and Eddy Petrișor.  (Closes: #464511)
 .
   * lib/Spelling.pm:
     + [RA] Don't strip hyphens before checking spelling.  Move all D-Bus
       corrections to the picky list since the correction is too confusing
       even if accurate without capitalization.  Thanks, Nelson A. de
       Oliveira.  (Closes: #464461)
