Package: debconf-i18n,debconf-utils
Version: 1.5.55
Severity: serious
Justification: policy 12.3 footnote 2
Tags: patch
debconf-i18n contains a symlink /usr/share/doc/debconf-i18n -> debconf.
Its dependency on debconf is unversioned though which means, that the
copyright and changelog files can get out of sync. This violates the
Debian policy section 12.3 footnote 2.
The solution is to add "(= ${source:Version})" (since both are Arch:all) to
debconf-i18n's Depends in debian/control.
Note that debhelper cannot be blamed on this, because debconf does not
use dh_installdocs --link-doc, but rather instantiates this symlink on
its own. It therefore is debconf's responsibility to add the versioned
dependency.
The same issue holds for nettle-utils.
Attaching a .debdiff for your convenience.
Helmut
