Dear maintainer,

xfce4-sensors-plugin build-depends on libsensors4-dev, the development
package from lm-sensors. For historical reasons the development package
is versioned. Following the transition of the library to libsensors5,
it makes sense to rename the development package to libsensors-dev.

In that regard a "Provides: libsensors-dev" has been added. Given
xfce4-sensors-plugin uses a non-versioned Build-Depends it is already
safe to transition your package to use libsensors-dev instead of
libsensors4-dev.

There is no urgency (yet) to do the change, but it would be nice if
you can piggyback that change in the next upload. It should just be
a matter of running:

  sed -i -e 's/libsensors4-dev/libsensors-dev/g' debian/control

Thanks,
Aurelien
