Well, I was talking about current versioned dependencies. I assume
the versions are mentioned for a reason. As an example:
Package: bugzilla3
Version: 3.2.4.0-3+nmu1
Depends: [...], libemail-mime-modifier-perl (>= 1.442-2), [...]
would need to be changed to
Depends: [...], libemail-mime-perl (>= 1.900) | libemail-mime-modifier-perl (>= 1.442-2), [...]
Sorry if I'm missing something.
