Package: debhelper Version: 9.20120909 Severity: normal debhelper adds a pre-depdency against dpkg >= 1.15.7.2 when dh_installdeb is used to manage conffiles with dpkg-maintscript-helper. This was reasonable in the past, however by now this dependency is trivially satisfied in all supported releases, including soon-to-ḃe-oldstable Debian Squeeze which has 1.15.8.13.
Please consider dropping the pre-dependency for the next compat level bump. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.6-trunk-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages debhelper depends on: ii binutils 2.22-7.1 ii dpkg 1.16.9 ii dpkg-dev 1.16.9 ii file 5.11-2 ii html2text 1.3.2a-15 ii man-db 2.6.3-3 ii perl 5.14.2-18 ii po-debconf 1.0.16+nmu2 debhelper recommends no packages.
