Package: linux-compiler-gcc-7-x86
Version: 4.14.2-1
Severity: minor

The linux-compiler-gcc-7-x86 package depends on GCC 7 but
declares in the description that it depends on GCC 6:

Package: linux-compiler-gcc-7-x86
Depends: gcc-7
Description: Compiler for Linux on x86 (meta-package)
 This package depends on gcc 6 of the appropriate architecture for Linux on
 amd64, i386 and x32.

I suggest changing the information to something like this:

Package: linux-compiler-gcc-x86
Depends: gcc-7
Description: Compiler for Linux on x86 (meta-package)
 This package depends on GCC of the appropriate version and architecture
 for Linux on amd64, i386 and x32.

I changed the package name and description thus:

/Package/s/gcc-7/gcc/ 
The version number is in depends already, not needed in package name?
This probably doesn't need to happen until the package name is next changed.

/Description/{n;s/gcc/GCC/}
GCC is an acronym for GNU Compiler Collection so it should be capitalised.

/Description/{n;s/ 6 / /;s/appropriate/& version and/}
Don't hard-code the version number so it never needs updating.
