- Tag: old-versioned-python-dependency
- Severity: normal
- Certainty: certain
- Info: This package appears to be an architecture-independent Python module
-  but has a dependency on a version of python less than a particular
-  version, doesn't use python-support and no Python-Version control field.
-  This normally means that the package isn't using the current Python
-  policy; most architecture-independent Python packages will work with any
-  future version of Python if they follow the new policy.
-  .
-  If this package really does require only a particular range of Python
-  versions and uses python-central, add a Python-Version control field (as
-  described in 2.3 of the Python policy) to resolve this warning.
-  .
-  Note that this can also be triggered if dh_python2 is used and it cannot
-  add anything to the Breaks field, beceause the package has no
-  ${python:Breaks} substition variable.
