Hi Niels,

Unfortunately the bug I reported isn't fixed (see
https://bugs.debian.org/747141#5 for my original message); with debhelper
9.20141222, I still end up with incorrect versioned dependencies between the
arch: any packages built by gcc-mingw-w64: dh_installdocs adds a dependency on
gcc-mingw-w64-base (= 14.3), where 14.3 is the *source* version and not the
binary version (which is 4.9.1-19+14.3 in this case and correctly added by
debian/rules).

Regarding the arch: any to arch: all and vice-versa cases you fixed, what
about transitional and/or metapackages? Given that they are empty, I don't see
anything in Policy or in practice which would prevent arch: all metapackages
depending on arch: any binary packages without a strict versioned dependency
to provide their changelog and copyright... (gcc-mingw-w64 does this in a
binNMU-friendly way.)

Regards,

Stephen
