-.TH DH_TESTVERSION 1 "" "Debhelper Commands" "Debhelper Commands"
-.SH NAME
-dh_testversion \- ensure that the correct version of debhelper is installed
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B dh_testversion [debhelper options] [operator] [version]
-.SH "DESCRIPTION"
-Note: This program is deprecated. You should use build dependencies instead.
-.P
-dh_testversion compares the version of debhelper against the version you
-specify, and if the condition is not met, exits with an error message.
-.P
-You should use this in your debian/rules files if a new debhelper feature is
-introduced, and your package requires that feature to build correctly. Use
-debhelper's changelog to figure out the version you need.
-.P
-Be sure not to overuse dh_testversion. If debhelper version 9.5
-introduces a new dh_autofixbugs command, and your package uses it, then if
-someone tries to build it with debhelper 1.0, the build will fail anyway when
-dh_autofixbugs cannot be found, so there is no need for you to use
-dh_testversion.
