Package: src:pegjs
Severity: minor
Hi,
pegjs source package seems to do no extraordinary packaging tricks, yet
uses debhelper compatibility level 9, making backporting to stable or
oldstable harder, as it then involves also backporting debhelper (or
relying on other backporting of that).
Please consider relaxing to use compatibility level 8 and corresponding
relaxed build-dependency versioning (or then simply drop the versioning,
as it is then - despite debhelper maintainer suggestions - unneeded).
- Jonas

I perfectly agree. Don't know what I was thinking.
(I even made exact same brain fart before, where Gregor - I believe it
was - enlightened me about the status of debhelper versions)
Sorry for the noise - closing as a non-bug.
