Package: debian-policy
Version: 3.5.5.0
I can't to compile the latest debian-policy on potato. It seems that
this comes from version problems for links and jade (see below).
I think you should give the required versions in Build-Depends-Indep.
I don't believe this is an important bug, but as far as I understood the
problem, it could cause problems with newer version of apt-get that
automatically get the latest version to build when required.

(I put ***** just before the problems)
