Bug#917264: lintian: dependency-on-python-version-marked-for-end-of-life needs an action
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.118
Severity: normal
As I've discussed before in lintian bug reports, I think lintian tags should
be actionable. This one isn't, but I have an idea.
What if the description were updated to suggest adding an override for
that it's known aren't being ported to python3 for one reason or another.
That would let people know it's safe to ignore the package in the future when
checking for things that need to be ported/packaged for python3 and give a
clearer picture of what needs to be removed when python2 goes.
