#1069448 — Bug#954998: libconfig-model-dpkg-perl: cme edit dpkg does not start

Hi

Sorry for the late reply. I had a freelance mission from April to August that 
did not leave me much free time (or energy).

Lintian 2.57 brought a change to an API that broke cme.

Long story short, libconfig-model-dpkg-perl >= 2.132 depends on lintian >= 2.57

And libconfig-model-dpkg-perl < 2.132 must use lintian < 2.57

Please get back to me if this is too inconvenient to backport cme and I'll 
suggest a patch to cope with this breakage in lintian API.
