Bug#498135: lintian: "build-depends-without-arch-dep ant" will normally be invalid

[Daniel Watkins <daniel@daniel-watkins.co.uk>]

Package: lintian
Version: 1.24.4
Severity: minor


When run, gives the following:
$ lintian -IEi freeguide_0.10.7-1_i386.changes 
I: freeguide source: build-depends-without-arch-dep ant
N:
N:   The control file lists the given package in Build-Depends, but no
N:   architecture-dependent packages are built. If all the packages built
N:   are architecture-independent, the only packages that should be listed
N:   in Build-Depends are those required to run the clean target (such as
N:   debhelper if you use dh_clean). Other build dependencies should be
N:   listed in Build-Depends-Indep instead.
N:
N:   Refer to Debian Policy Manual section 7.7 (Relationships between
N:   source and binary packages - Build-Depends, Build-Depends-Indep,
N:   Build-Conflicts, Build-Conflicts-Indep) for details.
N:

In most circumstances where 'ant' is in Build-Depends, it will be used in the
clean target.
