Package: lintian Version: 2.5.53 Severity: normal I get
E missing-build-dependency-for-dh_-command dh_strip_nondeterminism => dh-strip-nondeterminism for libreoffice on lintian.d.o (and afaicr also with some lintian when ran on the actual source package built). the explanation says: The source package appears to be using a dh_ command but doesn't build depend on the package that actually provides it. If it uses it, it must build depend on it. Severity: important, Certainty: possible Check: debhelper, Type: source Ok, so let's do that. https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-openoffice/libreoffice.git/commit/?h=debian-experimental-5.4&id=ce92602c49fa5f5b4e604e890e08589f94f11b7b As the comment says, this one is already pretty inconsequent since dh-autoreconf is not complained about but debhelper depends on both itself. After that change I now get: W: libreoffice source: useless-autoreconf-build-depends dh-autoreconf N: N: Since compatibility level 10, debhelper enables the autoreconf sequence N: by default. N: N: It is therefore not necessary to specify build-dependencies on N: dh-autoreconf or autotools-dev and they can be removed. N: N: Severity: normal, Certainty: possible N: N: Check: debhelper, Type: source N: but as said, both dh-autoreconf *AND* dh-strip-nondeterminism are dependencies of debhelper already. (ok, only from stable onwards, but..) Either lintian should error out/warn about both or for none of them. Regards, Rene
