Bug#548218: lintian: another wrong “weak-library-dev-dependency” error?

[Norbert Preining <preining@logic.at>]

Package: lintian
Version: 2.2.17
Severity: normal

Hi,

I am building new libkpathsea{-dev,4} packages. Up to now there was
a dependency only
	libkpathsea-dev depends libkpathsea4
THe lintian warning above triggered a change in my scripts so now I have
	libkpathsea-dev depend libkpathsea4 (= version-of-both_packages)
but I still get the warning. Is there something wrong in my understanding
of that error message?

That is already with lintian 2.2.17, so it is not bug 547773.
