Bug#909239: lintian: ancient-python-version-field is wrong

[Chris Lamb <lamby@debian.org>]

Hi Thomas,

To clarify, by "these warnings" you mean the one emitted by py{,3}versions and not the Lintian warnings?

Without the "allow-stderr" flag, autopkgtests will fail if they emit
anything to standard error. If possible, it is best to leave this at
the default as it catches various non-fatal errors that are worth
knowing about.

(I am guessing that the py{,3} versions warning emits to this output
stream and thus the apt (?) tests fail.)
