+Tag: build-depends-on-essential-package-without-using-version
+Severity: error
+Check: fields/package-relations
+See-Also: debian-policy 4.2
+Explanation: The package declares a build-depends on an essential package, e.g. dpkg,
+ without using a versioned depends. Packages do not need to build-depend on
+ essential packages; essential means that they will always be present.
+ The only reason to list an explicit dependency on an essential package
+ is if you need a particular version of that package, in which case the
+ version should be given in the dependency.
