Bug#632821: javahelper: adds unversioned base-files dependency

[Rene Engelhard]

Package: javahelper
Version: 0.36.1
Severity: important

Hi,

I saw that jh_depends seems to add a unversioned base-files dependency
to e.g. libreoffice-base:

"3.5 Dependencies

Every package must specify the dependency information about other packages that are required for the first to work correctly.

For example, a dependency entry must be provided for any shared libraries required by a dynamically-linked executable binary in a package.

Packages are not required to declare any dependencies they have on other packages which are marked Essential (see below), and should not do so unless they depend on a particular version of that package.[10]
