Package: lintian Version: 1.23.22 Severity: normal Hi, $ lintian -i openoffice.org_2.0.3-4.dsc E: openoffice.org source: missing-dh_python-build-dependency python | python-dev | python-all-dev N: N: The package runs dh_python in debian/rules but doesn't build-depend on N: python or python-dev. dh_python requires /usr/bin/python to run, so N: packages using dh_python must build-depend on python (or python-dev or N: python-all-dev, which in turn depend on python), even if they don't N: otherwise need Python to build. N: N: Refer to the dh_python(1) manual page for details. N: wrong, because: Build-Depends: [...] python-central (>= 0.4.10) [i386 powerpc sparc], debhelper (>= 5.0.37.1), python (>= 2.3.5-7) [i386 powerpc sparc], python-dev [i386 powerpc sparc] [...] As wee see, both python and python-dev is there. (and dh_python is only ran on i386, powerpc, sparc because the python package is only built there - but lintian of course cannot know it). But it imho should omit the warning because it's specified.... I'll override in the meanwhile....
