Lintian tag: binary-package-depends-on-toolchain-package

Type: warning

Description (from lintian-explain-tags)

This package specifies a binary dependency on a "toolchain" package such
as debhelper or cdbs. This is likely to be a mistake; these packages are
typically specified as build-dependencies instead.

If the package intentionally requires such a dependency, please add a
Lintian override with a justifying remark.

Visibility: warning
Show-Always: no
Check: fields/package-relations
