Package: lintian Version: 1.23.27 Severity: wishlist Please check the value of Build-Dpends for out of date *major* version numbers when --display-info is in effect. An example:
Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 4.0.0), dpatch (>= 1.0) There are major new releases (debhelper 5, dpatch 2), which could be reported as: I: Out of date major version of debhelper (found 4.0.0, now: 5.0.42) I: Out of date major version of dpatch (found 1.0, now: ...) Hm, I think this could be done for 'Depends' as well to catch major upgrade issues.
