I discovered during compilation of a (slightly) older package that still uses a debhelper (>= 12)
compatibility with a debian/compat file stating 12 that the tag missing-build-dependency-for-dh-addon
is unable to detect the fact that dh-autoreconf is needed when debhelper >= 10 is specified in the
control file or in debian/compat.  This resulted in the erroneous errors on missing dh-autoreconf
in xca, where it's not needed by debhelper >= 12 with a compat file stating 12.

This does not trigger when using "debhelper-compat (= 12)" in debian/control without the debian/compat
file, however the tag information and description I saw was this when triggered on mentors.debian.org:

autoreconf => dh-autoreconf | debhelper (>= 9.20160403~) | debhelper-compat

This suggests that if in debian/control you have a "debhelper (>= 9.20160403~)" line (which
"debhelper (>= 12)" qualifies), OR you have debhelper-compat, that this should not trigger.

HOWEVER, this triggers unless debhelper-compat is present in the build-depends, suggesting the tag is
NOT being correctly matched during Lintian runs if multi-level compatibility or experimental debhelper
compatibility (hence "debian/compat" and "debhelper >= 12" being present in a given package) based on
what I've read in manpages.

This looks like erroneous tag detection.  Note that if you put in dh-autoreconf into build-deps it
triggers the as-expected useless-autoreconf-build-depends tag.

This currently triggers on the XCA package as uploaded to mentors.debian.net yesterday - both versions
of the package (the one with dh-autoreconf in build-deps and the verison with debian/compat and
"debhelper (>= 12)" in debian/control) exist to show this distinction, and both packages in sid sbuild
chroots reproduce this behavior.

We believe that the bug you reported is fixed in the latest version of
lintian, which is due to be installed in the Debian FTP archive.

A summary of the changes between this version and the previous one is
attached.

Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed.  If you
have further comments please address them to 1000610@bugs.debian.org,
and the maintainer will reopen the bug report if appropriate.
