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,

As discussed in the bug report, recommending the trailing tilde is
something Lintian generally does, although in this case it's not
specifically useful.  Closing this bug per the discussion.
