+Tag: intra-source-package-circular-dependency
+Severity: warning
+Check: group-checks
+Explanation: The listed packages from the same source circularly depend
+ (or pre-depend) on each other. This makes it difficult for tools
+ to properly handle install/upgrade sequences. Furthermore this
+ complicates automated removal of unused packages.
+ .
+ If possible, consider removing or reducing one of the depends.
+ .
+ Note: This check is limited to packages created from the same
+ source package. Full circular dependencies between binaries from
+ different source packages is beyond the scope of Lintian.
