Package: lintian-brush
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: ni...@thykier.net
I noted that the janitor failed to do lintian-fixes for debhelper.
Looking into the logs I found:
Lintian tags fixed: {'uses-debhelper-compat-file',
'no-versioned-debhelper-prerequisite'}
plus:
unsat-dependency: debhelper-compat:amd64 (= 15) | debhelper-compat:amd64
(= 15)
Which means lintian-brush concluded that it made sense to replace a
debian/compat file for an experimental compat level into a
"debhelper-compat" build dependency.
I think lintian-brush should limit itself to fixing this tag if the
compat level in question is defined as a stable compat level.
The lintian-brush tool can determine the highest stable compat level by
using "dh_assistant supported-compat-levels" and then reading the
"HIGHEST_STABLE_COMPAT_LEVEL" key from the output.
Thanks,
