        Fine, sending to -devel as well.

        There is not bug here. Perhaps the scripts or tests you use need
 to be tightened?

        The build dependency line reads (in part)
 libreadline-dev | libreadline6-dev | libreadline5-dev,

        Which means that the new packages are picked by default, but it
 is also backports friendly, allowing backporters to still use
 libreadline5-dev. This is strictly better than just using the new
 dependencies. It does not prevent removing libreadline5-dev from
 Squeeze, the package will continue to build just fine.

        Closing the bug,  with no changes.

  Just for record (I got the same 'bug' in one of my packages), I see that
libreadline5-dev in stable provides libreadline-dev.
  So, even with backport in mind, this build-depends can be reduced into
only libreadline-dev (but this would be a wishlist bug, not an important one)

  I downgraded mine and it will be fixed in my next upload (but I'm not
doing one just for that)

  Regards,
    Vincent
