Bug#1057176: lintian: Take dpkg-build-api into account for Rules-Requires-Root

[Guillem Jover <guillem@debian.org>]

Package: lintian
Version: 2.116.3
Severity: wishlist

Hi!

Starting with dpkg 1.22.0, it implements a dpkg-build-api similar in
concept to the debhelper-compat levels.

You can check its documentation in the dpkg-build-api(7) and
dpkg-buildapi(1) manual pages.

It would be nice if lintian took this level into account when emitting
tags, to avoid false positives. In particular for Rules-Requires-Root,
which in level 1 defaults to value «no» instead of «binary-targets».

[ I've noticed I didn't update the deb-src-control(5) manual page,
  so I've done that locally now and will be part of the next dpkg
  release. ]

Thanks,
Guillem
