I don't see any big changes in dpkg-dev 1.13.25 aside from support for
lzma archives, which I doubt is needed here.  1.13.19 is a version that
is frequently used as a versioned dependency, since that's when the
${source:Version} and so on variables were introduced.  Debhelper 5
is likely to be necessary for a variety of reasons.  The package will
probably build with those versions relaxed, but it may not generate
dependencies as the packagers expect.
