Bug#897213: lintian: Please remove dependency-on-python-version-marked-for-end-of-life until after Buster releases
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.84
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
There has been a lot of discussion on debian-devel about the future of
python2.7 in Buster. The dependency-on-python-version-marked-for-end-of-life
flag is confusing people into thinking they should drop python2.7 support from
their packages because it isn't going to be in Buster.
I understand (and agree with) the intent of this check, but in practice, it's
harming the release. I don't think it is salvageable.
