It fixes a lintian warning: ,---- | W: emacs23 source: build-depends-on-1-revision build-depends: quilt (>= 0.42-1) | N: | N: The package declares a build dependency on a version of a package with a | N: -1 Debian revision such as "libfoo (>= 1.2-1)". Such a dependency will | N: not be satisfied by a backport of libfoo 1.2-1 and therefore makes | N: backporting unnecessarily difficult. Normally, the -1 version is | N: unneeded and a dependency such as "libfoo (>= 1.2)" would be sufficient. | N: If there was an earlier -0.X version of libfoo that would not satisfy | N: the dependency, use "libfoo (>= 1.2-1~)" instead. `---- Not that it really matters, but I think just build-depending on quilt (>= 0.42) would be best. There are two other build dependencies that should be bumped: debhelper (>= 7.0.50~) is required for the override targets in debian/rules, and format 3.0 (quilt) requires dpkg-dev (>= 1.14.17).
