Bug#619487: lintian: dh_python2 dropped ${python:Breaks} and triggers old-versioned-python-dependency again



Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.0~rc1
Severity: minor

Hi, since #604167 was resolved, dh_python2 changed behaviour in
python-defaults 2.6.6-12, and doesn't use ${python:Breaks} any more.
Thus all packages installing public modules with dh_python2 will trigger
old-versioned-python-dependency.

I suggest either rewording it to say "This is the expected behaviour
with dh_python2", or only display the message when dh_python2 is not
being used.

I guess dh_python2 can be detected in a binary package by looking for
"Automatically added by dh_python2" in postinst.
