Bug#459042: lintian: Should accept python-setuptools as Build-Depends
Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.41
Severity: minor
Hi !
Lintian complains about python-setuptools being arch independent when
putting it in Build-Depends field.
W: pycha 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.
However, python-setuptools is needed to run clean target (python
setup.py clean is called on clean).
Thanks
