I am prototyping an alternative in debhelper that may make this issue
obsolete.  At the moment (since 11.1.5) you can use:

 Build-Depends: debhelper-compat (= 11)

as a replacement for:

 Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 11~)
 and d/compat set to 11.

Note the lack of "~" in the debhelper-compat version.


It spews out tons of warnings as it is still experimental.  Nonetheless,
feedback appreciated.

Thanks,
~Niels
