Oh, I agree that it should allow the dependency. The reason why it's trickier is that right now that part of lintian doesn't distinguish between allowed dependencies and required dependencies, so if I just add this as another case, everyone using any of those patch systems would *have* to Build-Depend on patchutils to avoid warnings. I don't think that's right; people may not care about that functionality and CDBS does fall back on other techniques. It's not a big deal; I just need to add another case in the code. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
