22 Note: This program is deprecated. You should use build
23 dependencies instead.

26 dh_testversion compares the version of debhelper against the
27 version you specify, and if the condition is not met, exits
28 with an error message.

31 You can use this in your debian/rules files if a new
32 debhelper feature is introduced, and your package requires
33 that feature to build correctly. Use debhelper's changelog
34 to figure out the version you need.

36
37 Be sure not to overuse dh_testversion. If debhelper version
38 9.5 introduces a new dh_autofixbugs command, and your
39 package uses it, then if someone tries to build it with
40 debhelper 1.0, the build will fail anyway when
41 dh_autofixbugs cannot be found, so there is no need for you
42 to use dh_testversion.
