+Tag: depends-on-metapackage
+Severity: error
+Check: fields/package-relations
+Explanation: This package is one of the packages that Lintian believes is a
+ metapackage: a package that exists for the convenience of users or
+ installers to install a set of related packages. Packages that are not
+ themselves metapackages must not depend on metapackages, since this may
+ prevent the user from removing portions of the package set they don't
+ need.
