It’s just a Recommends, sure, but this is a package that, while
I always also test it on sid, currently targets jessie and PHP5
on the customer’s site, so I’m a bit wary of requiring py3k yet
(also I didn’t test it with that old a version).
Perhaps just removing the shebang and chmod -x’ing it would si‐
lence lintian?
