Bug#907870: lintian: warn on packages shipping /usr/lib/python*/dist-packages/.pytest_cache/*

[Ondřej Nový <novy@ondrej.org>]

Hi,

Piotr fixed this in dh-python:

https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/tools/dh-python/commit/b23713cebae76b0433bf3cbc14546cab01522a8b

dh-python now removes all directories starting with dot from dist-packages.

I have three suggestions for this Lintian check:

• recommend newer pybuild to fix this Lintian warning
• check for .cache directory - older pytest uses .cache directory, newer uses .pytest_cache
• MAYBE check for dot directories in dist-packages, they are typically trash

Thanks.
