Bug#631662: lintian: dh_python-is-obsolete check emits false positive on 'dh_python$(COMPUTED_PYVER)' line
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.1
Severity: normal
In attempt of using of dh_python2 and dh_python3 helpers in one generalized
rule, I've created a following target in debian/rules:
binary-install/python-uwsgidecorators binary-
install/python3-uwsgidecorators::
# [...here PYVER_MAJOR variable is computed based on package name...]
dh_python$(PYVER_MAJOR) -p $(cdbs_curpkg)
When python-uwsgidecorators package is building, PYVER_MAJOR variable has value
2, so dh_python2 helper is callled. When python3-uwsgidecorators package is
building, PYVER_MAJOR variable has value 3, so dh_python3 helper is callled.
So far, packages are built fine, they are installs and works without problem.
But Lintian check of source package emits warning 'W: dh_python-is-obsolete'
about debian/rules line with 'dh_python$(PYVER_MAJOR)'.
debian/rules is a Makefile and I'm using valid Makefile syntax with no calls to
obsolete dh_python.
