I did some UDD query


  select source, release, build_depends from sources where build_depends like '%dh-buildinfo%' and release = 'sid';

which found 313, but well, these are details.

Seems so.  At least I removed it from the last remaining Debian Med
package and picked a more or less random Debian Science package (irstlm)

Not sure whether this is the right time to MBF >300 packages, but well,
at some point in time it should go.

The last one is gone with my upload a couple of hours ago.

I guess haskell-devscripts might be the hard one remaining.

Kind regards
