The problem here is that debhelper do not know what is in the previous
version of a package. So we cannot do this conditionally.

If we do an upload for Jessie, I will probably just bump the
Pre-Depends. From a Wheezy -> Jessie upgrader, it should not matter if
it is >= 1.17.5 or >= 1.17.14 as they will not see a dpkg version
between 1.17.5 and 1.17.14.
