Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.21
Severity: wishlist

Lintian correctly picked up on this:

$ lintian -i mutagen_1.4-1_i386.changes
E: mutagen source: build-depends-indep-should-be-build-depends python | python-dev | python-all-dev
N:
N:   The specified package is required to run the clean target of
N:   debian/rules and therefore must be listed in Build-Depends, even if no
N:   architecture-dependent packages are built.
N:
N:   Refer to Policy Manual, section 7.6 for details.

But when I fixed my package, it now reports:

$ lintian -i mutagen_1.4-1_i386.changes
W: mutagen source: build-depends-without-arch-dep python-dev
N:
N:   The control file lists the given package in Build-Depends, but no
N:   architecture-dependent packages are built. If all the packages built
N:   are architecture-independent, the only packages that should be listed
N:   in Build-Depends are those required to run the clean target (such as
N:   debhelper if you use dh_clean). Other build dependencies should be
N:   listed in Build-Depends-Indep instead.
N:
N:   Refer to Policy Manual, section 7.6 for details.

If the former check is smart enough to know I need Python for my clean
target, the latter one should be too.

Version: 1.23.22

I'm pretty sure this bug was fixed in 1.23.22.  Did you have a versioned
dependency on python-dev in mutagen 1.4-1?  If so, it definitely was.  I
tried and can't reproduce this problem any more.

(BTW, the current version of mutagen has an unnecessary override for
build-depends-without-arch-dep, I think.  lintian understands the CDBS
Python includes and doesn't complain.)
