Package: lintian Version: 2.2.14 Tags: patch Severity: wishlist Hi, The current version of debhelper in lenny-backports is 7.2.6~bpo50+1. However a lintian warning suggests a BD on at least 7.0.50~ when we use override targets in debian/rules. Therefore, I think there is no point mentionning the backport version. A BD on at least debhelper 7.0.50 should be sufficent. I have enclosed a patch if you think that it deserves an update. Regards, -- Franck Joncourt http://debian.org - http://smhteam.info/wiki/
