Bug#896133: lintian: False positives on binary-package-depends-on-toolchain-package with Breaks/Conflicts

[Guillem Jover <guillem@debian.org>]

Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.83
Severity: normal

Hi!

The new tag binary-package-depends-on-toolchain-package seems to have
some false positives, as it checks all dependency fields, including
Breaks and Conflicts. But if another package uses those fields then it
most probably means it cannot work with those versions. So I think
these fields should be excluded?

This currently affects both dpkg-dev and dpkg-cross.

Thanks,
Guillem
