Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.17
Severity: normal
Lintian's latest Python build-dependency checks are a bit too strict
IMO -- in particular, they insist on direct build-dependencies on
python, whereas I would argue that build-dependencies on python-dev
should be sufficient.
Could you please loosen the checks accordingly?
Thanks!

The "brown paper Python" release
.
* checks/fields{.desc,}:
+ [RA] Redo handling of build dependencies to allow a custom tag to be
specified and to allow a general dependency string to be required
rather than a simple package name. As a result, dh_python handling
is no longer a buggy special case. Allow either python or
python-dev for dh_python and the cdbs Python rules. Thanks, Torsten
Merek and Aaron M. Ucko. (Closes: #364297, #364330)
+ [RA] Require at least quilt 0.40 if /usr/share/quilt/quilt.make is
included. Thanks, Michele Baldessari.
+ [RA] Packages using dh_installxfonts must build-depend on 5.0.31 or
later of debhelper for the X.Org 7 transition.
