[debhelper-devel] Bug#811059: misleading warning: "This package will soon FTBFS" - but FTBFS now

[Martin Michlmayr]

Package: debhelper
Version: 9.20160114

This warning saying the package "will soon FTBFS" doesn't make sense
since it's followed by an error.

> sbuild (Debian sbuild) 0.67.0 (26 Dec 2015) on dl580gen9-02.hlinux
