Hi Chris,

sorry, this got lost in the INBOX pile.

As you pointed out, there’s currently no way to model
the right thing, given the implicit choice in the
shebang line.

So I think there’s nothing left to do for lintian
(feel free to close the bug if you agree), and I’ll
go with an override, for now. In this particular
case, being a Recommends, needed only for a helper
script shipped by the package, and given that half
the package relationship matches, I think that’s ok.

bye,
