It is considered best practice to always depend on the minimum version of debhelper corresponding to the compat level that you're using. It's not strictly necessary to version the debhelper dependency if your compat level is old enough that it's supported by any debhelper that a building host is likely to be able to install (in practice, old enough that it's supported in stable), but there's really no reason not to use the more accurate and informative dependency. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
