Uwe,

Following is a brief correspondence which has led me to change
pear.template/control to depend on cdbs. Any thoughts on the matter?

It's not clear to me that this is a bug in lintian.  I don't see anything
in the documentation of dh-make-php that guarantees that it will always
depend on cdbs in the future, so if your package is directly using cdbs
features, I think you should add an explicit cdbs dependency.
