Bug#1033162: Document proper strict depends like main-dev (= ${source:Version})) but NMU, backport and piupart safe



Package: developers-reference
Version: 12.18
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Sometime (think a header only dev package) you need to depend on a strict version of an other package.

However,  (= ${source:Version})) is not NMU, backport, piupart and user recompile safe.

That is the best pratice ?

gpg use something like:
Depends: dirmngr (<< ${source:Version}.1~), dirmngr (>= ${source:Version}),
Breaks: dirmngr (<< ${binary:Version})

What do you think ? That is the consensus ?
