Re: Bug #718819: python3 has circular Depends on dh-python
Control: clone -1 -2
Control: severity -2 wishlist
Control: reassign -2 lintian
Control: retitle -2 warn when using dh_python3 without explicit dependency
Dear Lintian maintainers,
Currently, over 250 source packages in the archive call dh_python3 (either
directly or through dh) without having a build dependency on it:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=718819#39
Would it be possible to make Lintian warn (or error? not sure what is
appropriate) in such cases? This would hopefully make the resolution
of #718819 smoother (as all such packages will FTBFS when it is fixed)
Best,
nicoo
