Package: lintian Version: 2.5.0~rc2~bpo60+1 Severity: wishlist Hi,
there are only a few packages which really needs to depend on versioned libdbX.Y(|++|-java|-sql|-stl)-dev packages, so I propose new lintian error, which will check the build dependencies and report if the package build-depend on a versioned Berkeley DB. There are few packages which really need versioned dependency (they use transactions in Berkeley DB and don't have a sane upgrade path) which could easily override this tag. This would really help the goal of having only one Berkeley DB version per stable release.
