Hi,
For back port, there are some packages which require to be updated even
when versioned dependency is not in place. dpkg, debhelper, ...
I think distro-info-data is just another such package. You have to have
latest version.
This bug has been around for 2 years without action and suggested action
there may not be useful by now as proposed.
sugesstion >= 0.16~
current version 0.28 (covering Ubuntu 16.04)
So adding such fixed version dependency seems not good idea since we
will forget updating it everytime we upload.
Then what should we add?
distro-info-data (>= ${binary:Version}~)
It looks overkill for me... but something along this thought...
