Package: lsb
Severity: wishlist

lsb has a versioned build-depends on a dpkg-dev package version that
is not in sarge. lsb seems, however, to build fine on sarge, and
backported lsb-base works reasonably well on sarge in case of an
lsb'ized init script.

Since we _will_ live with backports, and lsb'ized init scripts are
becoming increasingly common, the apparently unnecessary requirement
to backport _dpkg_ just to be able to backport a package with an
lsb'ized init script is a pain.

Please document _why_ the versioned build depends is really needed,
and consider adapting the package to make it unnecessary.

Greetings
Marc
