Bug#551793: lintian: [new check] arch:all-only package with build-dep on python*-dev

[Jakub Wilk <ubanus@users.sf.net>]

Package: lintian
Version: 2.2.17
Severity: wishlist

python-dev, pythonX.Y-dev and python-all-dev are normally only needed to 
build C language extensions or to embed Python in an application. In 
virtually all cases they are not required to build a package with only 
pure Python modules.

Nonetheless, lots of arch:all-only packages build-depend on python*-dev. 
It would be nice if lintian warned in such cases and suggested to 
replace python$foo-dev with python$foo.
