Version: 0.5.4.9
Severity: important
When I try to run "apt-get build-dep <src-pkg>", I get an error
message. This makes it very difficult to build almost any package
automatically. I pretty sure this didn't happen with 0.5.4.

X-Spam-Level:
Regardless of how or whether this is documented, it _is_ a best current
practice to specify a concrete package as a default alternative to a virtual
package in dependency fields. The corresponding lintian check references
section 7.4 of the policy manual, but this does not seem to be documented
there. If there is not already a proposal about this, there probably should
be.
At any rate, closing.
