In general I would expect that it is the upstream versions which introduce
new API changes etc, so generalizing the minimum version to be (>= 1.34*)
should be enough in the control file. The min deb packaging version is
too gratuitous, not to mention misleading, and as we see here unportable.

[*] or better the version which introduced the req'd fn set
