Version: 2006-1
Severity: important

User: helmutg at debian.org
Usertags: rebootstrap
libcanary-stability-perl Build-Depends on devscripts. The (very old)
build log of the only ever build shows that it uses licensecheck.
licensecheck now moved to its own package, so libcanary-stability-perl
should transition its dependency.
As it happens, the installation set of devscripts happens to include
libcanary-stability-perl. Thus this dependency poses a cycle, which
makes bootstrapping it impossible. Thus severity important. Please
consider applying the attached patch.
