Right, but this way the whole tag has been downgraded.
build-depends-on-obsolete-package also reports about packages that you
should really not build-depend on (openjdk-6, hardening-wrapper,
qt5-default, etc etc) and a Severity:important tag is more than
warrented for those.


This bug is only reporting about how impossible to do a straight
backport to wheezy, which can be considered a valid use case, but if
that's so can I instead suggest to just add a lintian override in that
package (with a comment)?.
