E: build-depends-on-metapackage
N:
N: Packages must not build-depend on X Window System metapackages.
N:
N: The metapackages xorg, xorg-dev, x-window-system, x-window-system-dev,
N: and x-window-system-core exist only for the benefit of users and
N: should not be used in package build dependencies.
N:
N: Severity: important, Certainty: certain
N:
N: Check: fields, Type: binary, udeb, source
N:
However, this tag can be triggered by build-depending on mono-complete,
which is definitely not a X Windows System metapackage. :)
