Bug#563984: Detect obsolete versioned build dependencies
Package: lintian
Version: 2.3.0
Severity: wishlist
Dear lintian maintainers,
I would like to suggest a lintian test, which checks if any
versioned build dependencies exist where the versions are
lower than the version in oldstable.
While this is technically not a problem, it's cruft which
lintian could detect.
Cheers,
Moritz
