Package: dh-apparmor
Severity: grave
Version: 2.7.0-1

Hi,

  Package: dh-apparmor
  Replaces: debhelper (<< 9.20120115ubuntu2)
  Breaks: debhelper (<< 9.20120115ubuntu2)

Given current sid has debhelper 9.20120115, this makes dh-apparmor not
co-installable with it. As a result, dh-apparmor is not usable in
current sid, is it? If I'm not mistaken, this blocks me from
suggesting Debian maintainers to ship AppArmor profiles with
their packages.

I don't understand why these relationships are here in the first
place. It seems to me a conflict that could arise would be with
a future version of debhelper that would ship the postinst-apparmor
and postrm-apparmor autoscripts, rather than with older (i.e.
current or past) versions. If this were to happen, I think debhelper
itself would have to Replaces: and Breaks: dh-apparmor, not the
contrary. Am I confused?

(As a side note, it's not clear to me what's the point of this package
at all. I see Ubuntu ships dh-apparmor support as part of their
debhelper package. Has this support ever been submitted to the
debhelper upstream / Debian maintainer, did they refuse to ship it?
Actually, I find the split package approach a bit cleaner, but
reducing the Debian / Ubuntu delta seems important too :)

Cheers,
