missing debhelper

for debian install, there was this issue : dpkg-checkbuilddeps: erreur: Unmet build dependencies: debhelper (>= 11).
fix with "apt install debhelper "
Hm what do you consider an "issue" here?
I don't get this.
You won't be able to build any Debian package without debhelper.
it is necessary to add in the install.md file that debhelper must be installed (like for python)
Not really. The dependency is already documented in debian/control. dpkg-buildpackage would be unable to complain otherwise. Currently dpkg-buildpackage was already telling you about missing dependencies
I really dislike doing redundant stuff like documenting the dependencies from debian/control again in INSTALL.md as this is error-prone.
I documented this for python and lua only because there is no such thing as debian/control in this case.
I will add a sentence or two about this in INSTALL.md and close this (non-issue afterwards). If something additional should be documented in this case is that you need to have dpkg-dev installed.
