Bug#522384: [checks/debhelper]: Warn if compat level requires higher version than the build-depends
Package: lintian
Version: 2.2.8
Severity: normal
Hi,
packages should depend von debhelper >= X if X is listed in debian/compat.
At the moment lintian doesn't complain if you require dh compat level 5 in
debian/compat, but build-depend on debhelper (>= 4) only, which does not
provide the necessary compat level.
Cheers,
Bernd
