Should always use latest standards version in the template, instead of hard-coding it.

One could parse /usr/share/lintian/data/standards-version/release-dates and always use the latest standards, in the package and the tests....

Meh, I'm gonna just bump it for now, but solving this "generically" would be nice.

This is fixed in:
ubuntu-defaults-builder (0.47.1) raring; urgency=low

  * debian/control, template/debian/control: Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.4.

For 3.9.4. But I'd like to keep this bug open to solve it generically and always default to the "latest" standards version.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

I wouldn't like to do that. For new standards-versions we should actually verify that we meet their new requirements, instead of just blindly bumping them for the autogenerated packages and u-d-b itself.

Please feel free to reopen if you disagree, but I won't do this myself.
