Hi,
I get
E: helium source: missing-build-dependency cdbs
on a package that build-depends on haskell-devscripts. It is a false
positive, because haskell-devscripts depends on cdbs.
It seems that either this fact (haskell-devscripts depending on cdbs)
needs to be known to lintian, or it needs to check dependencies of
build-dependencies as well.
Greetings,
Joachim
