Bug#476587: lintian: incorrectly raises dbg-package-missing-depends
Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.46
Severity: normal
lintian incorrectly raises the following warning:
W: epiphany-browser-dbg: dbg-package-missing-depends epiphany-browser
However, this package has correct dependencies:
Depends: epiphany-gecko (= ${binary:Version}) | epiphany-webkit (= ${binary:Version})
The epiphany-browser package is an empty package, there’s no use
depending on it.
I understand that it is not easy to write a correct heuristic for this
check; maybe you could just check that it depends on at least one of the
architecture-dependent packages of the source package.
