I think I agree. I'm also struggling with how to rephrase this, though I'm thinking that maybe the 2nd paragraph should simply go away, as overriding these lintian warning at this point in time seems like the right thing to do. (Which then in conclusion makes me think that this whole warning shouldnt be a warning but rather a pedantic info right now, because this will save affected maintainers from adding the override now and removing it once Buster has been released.) oh, and btw, piuparts has a python3 branch in git, I would be delighted if someone could finish it ;) -- cheers, Holger
