We've intentionally not done this because debhelper says to always add the
versioned dependency. See the advice in the debhelper man page:
Once your package uses debhelper to build, be sure to add debhelper to
your Build-Depends line in debian/control. You should build-depend on a
version of debhelper equal to (or greater than) the debhelper
compatibility level your package uses. So if your package used
compatibility level 7:
Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 7)
There's an existing wontfix bug about this with further discussion, I
think.
