Source: gtk-vnc
Version: 0.5.2-2
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

Please consider changing the build-dependency you specified in gtk-vnc
as "valac-0.20" to "valac (>= 0.20)".
This means your package can be built with either valac 0.20 or valac 0.22.
The new version valac 0.22 will soon be uploaded to unstable as the default
valac.

Andreas Cadhalpun has already tested and your package builds properly with
valac 0.22 if the build-dependency is fixed.

This avoids you package depending on a specific old version of vala
which we hope one day can be dropped from the archive.
