Package: debhelper
Version: 11.1.6
Severity: wishlist

When backporting libpam-mount from experimental to stable, the only change I 
needed was

-Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 11), …
+Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 11~), …

The tilde allows ~bpo versions of debhelper to satisfy the constraint.

The debhelper(5) manpage suggestion has no tilde.
Can it have a tilde?

Distribution: unstable

Maintainer: Debhelper Maintainers 
Changed-By: Niels Thykier 
Description:
 debhelper  - helper programs for debian/rules

Closes: 894549 894573 894666 894835 894895 895011 895044
Changes:
 debhelper (11.2) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   [ Niels Thykier ]
   * debhelper.7: Add a ~ to the suggested Build-Depends to ensure
 backports also work for debhelper with single integer versions.
 Thanks to Trent W. Buck for the suggestion.  (Closes: #894666)
   * makefile.pm: Use -Oline with make.  This avoids make mistaking
 a target name for a value for -O and should make build time
 outs less likely for "long" targets.  (Closes: #894573)
   * Dh_Lib.pm: Fix bug that make debhelper trip on packages with
 the version "0".  Thanks to Chris Lamb for reporting the bug
 plus debugging the issue.  (Closes: #894895)
   * Buildsystem.pm: Rewrite to support build systems that generate
 build files for another build system (without using
 inheritance).  This enables generator build systems to have
 multiple backends.
   * cmake.pm: Support ninja as alternative backend (by using the
 build system cmake+ninja).  Thanks to Kyle Edwards for the
 suggestion.  (Closes: #895044)
   * meson.pm: Rewrite as a generator build system with ninja as
 the only backend.
   * debhelper.7: Recommend packagers to use "debian/."
 over "debian/" in most cases.  Thanks to Johannes
 Schauer for the suggestion.
   * dh_usrlocal: Implement a simple guard for directories that
 will likely cause issues in the shell snippets.
   * dh_usrlocal: Use the new rules from Debian Policy 4.1.4 to
 determine the default ownership and mode for directories.
   * d/control: Bump Standards-Versions to 4.1.4.  Beyond the
 dh_usrlocal change listed above, no changes were required.
 .
   [ Nicolas Boulenguez ]
   * dh_installxfonts: Fix typo that causes a misc:Depends on
 non-existing xfont-utils.  (Closes: #894835)
   * dh_installwm.1: Document --all.  (Closes: #895011)
   * dh_usrlocal: Fix bug where the generated prerm script generated
 by dh_usrlocal could remove a directory directly in /usr/local.
 (Closes: #894549)
 .
   [ Mattia Rizzolo ]
   * Lower the version restrictions on dpkg and dpkg-dev.  They are not
 needed anymore, as R³ support is not implied anymore, but requires
 an environment variable to be passed.

That's generally unlikely

wheezy has 9.20120909, so I don't think so.

Yeah, I'm confident of that.

It may have happened with squeeze, because it shipped with 8.0.0, and
back then people put all of '8.0.0' in the >=, instead of just >=8, but
that's it.


A lot of people noticed this case because the 11.1 version couldn't be
backported, and the backport couldn't be updated until now.
I've just uploaded 11.1.6~bpo9+1, so now nobody will notice anymore for
a long time again :)
