Bug#894392: check on debhelper versioned dependency should be made backports-friendly

Package: libconfig-model-dpkg-perl
Version: 2.106
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I have a package which declares a Depends on debhelper (>= 11~), in order to
facilitate backports (because stretch-backports currently has version
11~bpo9+1).

But cme fix dpkg-control does not like this, and replaces it by
debhelper (>= 11), which is not satisfiable in stretch-backports.

cme should be made to accept the backport-friendly constraint.

Best,

--
