Bug#612568: lintian: checking build-dependency on ocaml-nox should allow for ocaml a alternative
Package: lintian
Version: 2.4.3
Severity: normal
Lintian complains
E: advi source: missing-build-dependency dh-ocaml (>= 0.9~), ocaml-nox (>= 3.11.1-3~)
However, my source package (advi) has
Build-Depends: ... , dh-ocaml (>= 0.9~), ocaml (>=3.11.1-3~), ...
ocaml depends on ocaml-nox, and should therefore be allowed to take the place
of ocaml-nox in that lintian check. That is, the check should be on
"ocaml (>=3.11.1-3~) | ocaml-nox (>= 3.11.1-3~)".
-Ralf.
