binary-package-depends-on-toolchain-package

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.

The tag is present in Lintian version 2.114.163. That is the most recent version we know about.

We use semantic versions. The patch number is a commit step indicator relative to the 2.114.0 release tag in our Git repository.
