Bug#903220: libconfig-model-dpkg-perl: Please change policy to current version of debian policy in sid

[Andreas Tille]

Package: libconfig-model-dpkg-perl
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

libconfig-model-dpkg-perl is always lagging behind once a new Debian
policy is released when setting Standards-Version field.  I could
imagine that it is possible to set it automatically to a value of the
latest version of debian-policy package and thus there is no need to
upload a new libconfig-model-dpkg-perl once a new Debian Policy is
released.  On a sid system this would mean for instance to

    dpkg -l debian-policy | awk '/^ii/{print $3;}'

(or rather by just stripping the the first three values but you probably
want to do this in Perl anyway) or something that is more safe against
running cme on a non-sid system (UDD query, apt-cache policy, whatever -
just to calculate the policy version rather than setting a fixed value)

Kind regards and thanks for working on cme

     Andreas.
