Package: exim4
Version: 4.67-8
Severity: wishlist


Please replace the build-depency on libdb4.6-dev with a versioned bulid
dependency on libdb-dev (>> 4.6) as libdb4.6-dev is a virtual package
provided by libdb-dev.  Having a build-dependency on a vitual package
has the potential to cause problems.

Thanks,
stew
