Bug#733733: wrong complaint about missing python b-d when python*:any is given.
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.21
Followup-For: Bug #733733
lintian is confused by additional ":any" added to the package name of
dependency check logic. Please allow additional ":any" to be added.
Here is my case:
After realizing python3-all is one of the few new M-A:allowed packages,
I put python3-all:any as build dependency for my arch:all package which
does not have any fancy architecture specific bits, lintian started to
complaining as:
E: debmake source: missing-build-dependency-for-dh-addon python3 => python3 | python3-all | python3-dev | python3-all-dev
N:
N: The source package appears to be using a dh addon but doesn't build
N: depend on the package that actually provides it. If it uses it, it must
N: build depend on it.
N:
N: Severity: important, Certainty: possible
N:
N: Check: debhelper, Type: source
N:
E: debmake source: missing-python-build-dependency
N:
N: The package appears to use Python as part of its build process in
N: debian/rules but doesn't depend on Python.
N:
N: Normally, packages that use Python as part of the build process should
N: build-depend on one of python, python-all, python-dev, or python-all-dev
N: depending on whether they support multiple versions of Python and
N: whether they're building modules or only using Python as part of the
N: package build process. Packages that depend on a specific version of
N: Python may build-depend on the appropriate pythonX.Y or pythonX.Y-dev
N: package instead.
N:
N: Refer to Debian Policy Manual section 4.2 (Package relationships) for
N: details.
N:
N: Severity: important, Certainty: certain
N:
N: Check: rules, Type: source
N:
by changing "python3-all:any" to "python3-all" stops above false positive messages.

PS: Only python* and cpp packages are the MA:allowed packages.
You may also check "cpp" related check logic.
There is only one package having "cpp:any" at this moment.
