Package: apt-listchanges
Version: 2.85.13
Severity: serious

apt-listchanges now depends on dpkg-dev.  As dpkg-dev has lower
priority, that's a technical violation of policy but not one we need
to care *that* much about (and priorities are really set by the FTP
team).

However, dpkg-dev recommends build-essential.  The result is that
dist-upgrading a default installation of wheezy to jessie will install
build-essential, which is definitely not desirable.

Please find a solution to #733825 that doesn't require
dpkg-architecture.  Or, perhaps you could request that
dpkg-architecture is moved to dpkg.

Ben.
