There's a bug in the current version of lintian that causes it to
internally corrupt the dependency line in certain situations when checking
for script dependencies.  The result of that bug is that in some packages,
but not others, it will not see one of the dependencies and then produce
this warning.

It's already fixed in Subversion, and since it's a fairly annoying bug,
I'm going to try to get a new version of lintian uploaded by this weekend
with a fix.
