Package: lintian Version: 1.23.25 Severity: normal The octave-pkg-dev package is a helper package to assist developers to build Octave add-on packages, like those from the Octave-Forge project.
octave-pkg-dev build-depends on cdbs, which eliminates the need for the Octave add-on package build-depending on cdbs. Howvere, when the package needs quilt and "include /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/patchsys-quilt.mk" is added to debian/rules, Lintian gives the false positive error "source: missing-build-dependency cdbs" Would it be possible to include an exception in Lintian for not issuing the error above when the package build-depends on octave-pkg-dev?
