[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#1135256: Bug#1135256: liborthancframework1: should only have a Depends on the replacing package

[Sébastien Jodogne]

Dear Paul,

Thanks for the feedback. I have just tried to implement your 
modification verbatim, as follows:

Package: liborthancframework1
Architecture: all
Section: oldlibs
Depends: liborthancframework1.12.11
Description: Transitional package
  This is a transitional dummy package. It can safely be removed once
  no other packages depend on it.

All the "Breaks:" were moved to the "liborthancframework-dev", which is 
indeed their proper place. However, I get the following lintian warning:

W: orthanc source: debhelper-but-no-misc-depends liborthancframework1

 From what I understand, I should thus keep the "Depends: 
${misc:Depends}", even if it is a transitional package (and thus 
${misc:Depends} will probably expand to nothing):

https://lintian.debian.org/tags/debhelper-but-no-misc-depends.html

Please could you hint whether I should keep ${misc:Depends} or add a 
lintian-overrides for this specific warning on the transitional package?

Kind Regards,
Sébastien-
