Bug#816515: Disallow (< ...) and (> ...) package relations

[Paul Tagliamonte <tag@pault.ag>]

Package: debian-policy
Severity: normal
thanks

For a while now, the (< ..) and (> ...) Dependency relation has been
discouraged, and not allowed for new packages, since it's confusing (it
actually means <= and >= not >> and <<).


There are only two packages left with this in their source entry. I've
filed two bugs on it, since it's easy to fix.


Once they're fixed, would it be wise to adjust Policy to disallow this
globally?


Thanks!
