Title: package guide: clarifying build-depends snippet. Status in Ubuntu Packaging Guide: In Progress Bug description: http://developer.ubuntu.com/packaging/html/packaging-new-software.html On the heading "Starting a new package," third snippet, the statement before it ("make sure it includes at least...") is slightly ambivalent. Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 7.0.50~) One may change the values of their own build-control to be the value of this snippet, which would cause an inevitable error. I tried it and my first run-through was a failure by the heading "building the package." I noticed when I left my build-depends value as it was, Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 8.0.0) the tutorial continued on smoothly. One may not be so smart enough to leave it alone.
