Bug#891637: dh_clideps: "ignores" in clideps-override does not work

[Jo Shields]

Package: cli-common-dev
Version: 0.9+nmu1

Dear maintainer,

dh_clideps supports four types of override - suggests, depends, recommends, and 
ignores. It seems logic for ignores is faulty - whilst the override loading 
code acknowledges the override, it doesn't act upon it (i.e. it knows it should 
ignore, and immediately adds a dependency anyway).

The attached patch resolves the issue.
