      + [RA] Improve python-script-but-no-python-dep tag description to be
        clearer about the requirement for a versioned dependency for
        versioned scripts and to mention ${python:Depends}, created by the
        various Python debhelper scripts.  (Closes: #575590, #582763)

  For example, if a script in the package uses <tt>#!/usr/bin/python</tt>,
- the package needs a dependency on "python".  If a script uses

+ correct, since later versions of Python may not provide the

+ If you are using debhelper, adding <tt>${python:Depends}</tt> to the

  In some cases a weaker relationship, such as Suggests or Recommends, will
  be more appropriate.
