Source: gunicorn Version: 19.6.0-10 Severity: normal Tags: patch dpkg-maintscript-helper (dh_installdeb) is available via dpkg and support for rm_conffile is available since 1.15.7.2. So the Pre-Depends should pull in dpkg, not dpkg-dev. See [1] for all the details.
The attached patch changes the Pre-Depends to use ${misc:Pre-Depends}, which is
populated by dh_installdeb. Since dpkg 1.15.7.2 is older than oldstable,
${misc:Pre-Depends} will be empty.
