Lintian tag: build-depends-on-1-revision
Type: warning
Description (from lintian-explain-tags
)
The package declares a build dependency on a version of a package with a
-1 Debian revision such as "libfoo (>= 1.2-1)". Such a dependency will not
be satisfied by a backport of libfoo 1.2-1 and therefore makes backporting
unnecessarily difficult. Normally, the -1 version is unneeded and a
dependency such as "libfoo (>= 1.2)" would be sufficient. If there was an
earlier -0.X version of libfoo that would not satisfy the dependency, use
"libfoo (>= 1.2-1~)" instead.
