Lintian tag: depends-on-essential-package-without-using-version

Type: error

Description (from lintian-explain-tags)

The package declares a depends on an essential package, e.g. dpkg, without
using a versioned depends. Packages do not need to depend on essential
packages; essential means that they will always be present. The only
reason to list an explicit dependency on an essential package is if you
need a particular version of that package, in which case the version
should be given in the dependency.

Please refer to Dependencies (Section 3.5) in the Debian Policy Manual for
details.
