Bug#593832: lintian: Build-Depends for the lintian test suite

[Niels Thykier <niels@thykier.net>]

Package: lintian
Version: 2.4.3
Severity: wishlist

Hi

I have tried to figure out the test suite dependencies; Beyond lintian's
Build-Depends{,-Indep} I also installed lintian's dependencies and the
following packages.

libtext-template-perl
rsync
fakeroot
quilt (fields-quilt-debhelper)
python [1] (maybe? relations - old)

On a related note, the test "relations" of the old test suite might be
broken with the newer dpkg, which no longer accepts & as a part of the
version string.

[1] the test "relations" from the old suite runs:
  python -V || true
at some point, so I am not sure it is required. I just installed it when
I noticed this, so a later test might need it.
