Bug#393975: lintian: [checks/po-debconf] po-debconf is now installed by debhelper
Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.25
Severity: normal
If a package uses debconf templates without depending on po-debconf,
lintian returns an error like this one:
E: nagios2 source: missing-build-dependency po-debconf
However, as debhelper is now depending on po-debconf, this is not a
problem for most of the packages.
In my opinion, the check has to be updated.
