Bug#582511: lintian or debhelper?

[tony mancill <tmancill@debian.org>]

Package: lintian
Version: 2.4.1
Severity: normal

Here is some extra infomation related to Jari's bug report.  The issue was
with a simple package for architecture all that contains a python
script.  Built on a normal system with python-support installed, dh_pysupport
is called and the ${python:Depends} value is populated.  However, built
inside a clean chroot, the "% dh $@" rule never expanded to run dh_pysupport,
and hence the lintian error.  The fix was to add python-support to the 
Build-Depends-Indep: in debian/control.

Initially I was thinking that debhelper should carp about working on a
python package but not being able to invoke dh_pysupport, but perhaps a
lintian warning is the better approach.

tony
