Bug Description
http://
On the heading "Starting a new package," third snippet, the statement before it ("make sure it includes at least...") is slightly ambivalent.
Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 7.0.50~)
One may change the values of their own build-control to be the value of this snippet, which would cause an inevitable error. I tried it and my first run-through was a failure by the heading "building the package."
I noticed when I left my build-depends value as it was,
Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 8.0.0)
the tutorial continued on smoothly. One may not be so smart enough to leave it alone.
