It's a political question. My nitpicker side favours precise dependencies 
(because we can), but my realistic side admits lsb-base >= 4.1+Debian13 will 
be available for all packages which will see changes following the lintian 
warning.

If we can, and we can, we should have precise dependencies instead of 
'available in stable'; it helps downstreams as well.

Great, thanks.
