[Build-common-hackers] Bug#482948: cdbs: patchsys-quilt.mk adds dependency on cdbs (>= 0.4.27-1) which triggers lintian warning

Package: cdbs
Version: 0.4.52
Severity: normal

CDBS's patchsys-quilt.mk has a line

CDBS_BUILD_DEPENDS := $(CDBS_BUILD_DEPENDS), cdbs (>= 0.4.27-1)

This causes any package built with the current cdbs and 
DEB_AUTO_UPDATE_DEBIAN_CONTROL using patchsys-quilt.mk to get the lintian 
warning

W: cddlib source: build-depends-on-1-revision build-depends: cdbs (>= 0.4.27-1)

which is described at 
<http://lintian.debian.org/reports/tags/build-depends-on-1-revision.html>. 
I believe the fix to this is to change the line to

CDBS_BUILD_DEPENDS := $(CDBS_BUILD_DEPENDS), cdbs (>= 0.4.27)

which should have the same functional effect but avoids the unecessary 
lintian warning.
