Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.50.4
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

Currently, there's debhelper 11~bpo9+1 in Stretch. However, mostly everyone
build-depends on debhelper (>= 11), making it impossible to use the backported
debhelper without fixing the debhelper version of the software to backport.

It'd be nice if Lintian was warning about this, and nicely suggesting to build-
depend on version 11~, to allow backports.

Cheers,

Thomas Goirand (zigo)

thanks

Thanks for providing the background detail re. the backport.

> Just bear with it for some weeks for few packages...

Mmm, that's the most sensible approach IMHO too. Closing the bug
to match, but thanks Zigo for raising this so we can get some
explicit explanation. :)


Best wishes,
