Bug#582511: lintian or debhelper?
Package: lintian
Version: 2.4.1
Severity: normal
Here is some extra infomation related to Jari's bug report. The issue was
with a simple package for architecture all that contains a python
script. Built on a normal system with python-support installed, dh_pysupport
is called and the ${python:Depends} value is populated. However, built
inside a clean chroot, the "% dh $@" rule never expanded to run dh_pysupport,
and hence the lintian error. The fix was to add python-support to the
Build-Depends-Indep: in debian/control.
Initially I was thinking that debhelper should carp about working on a
python package but not being able to invoke dh_pysupport, but perhaps a
lintian warning is the better approach.
Regards,
tony
