Bug#895128: lintian: Please loosen a little the new-package-should-not-package-python2-module regexp
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.50.4
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Dear maintainer,
Could you relax a little the regexp that looks into d/changelog in order
to decide wether or not the new-package-should-not-package-python2-module
tag should be fired up?
Essentially, I suggest removing the requirement to have a space between
"python" and "2".
Here is a rough patch. :)
Cheers!
