Package: lintian Version: 2.5.10.4 Severity: wishlist The version-substvar-for-external-package error is also triggered if the 2nd package is simply misspelled. See for example the current lintian report for cgal 4.2-2.
For Suggests: or Recommends: relationships such a misspelling can easily go undetected. Please improve the description for this error to include this cause, too.
