Hello,

$ lintian ../python-levenshtein_0.10.1-1_amd64.changes 
Can't use string ("1") as an ARRAY ref while "strict refs" in use at /usr/share/lintian/checks/menus line 418, <IN> line 5.
internal error: cannot run menus check on package python-levenshtein
N: Skipping check of binary package python-levenshtein

indeed there is no menu file in the packge:

~/tmp/deb/python/python-levenshtein-0.10.1$ ls debian/
changelog  compat  control  copyright  patches
python-levenshtein.doc-base  rules  watch
