Source: kexec-tools
Version: 1:2.0.32-3
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

We are making good progress all togheter
cleaning up old outdated/confusing packaging practices.
See https://trends.debian.net/

kexec-tools has an extraneous/stale build-dependecy on 'quilt'.

With modern '3.0 (quilt)' packages this build-dependency
is not needed anymore: the task of applying the patches
at build-time is handled by dpkg itself.

The explicit dependency on 'debhelper (>= 10.0.0),' is useless too
and implied byt the one on 'debhelper-compat (= 13),'.


Greetings

Alexandre
