Bug#942673: warn about b-d on python3-all-dev and package not building for all supported python versions
Hi again Matthias,

Ah, I guess this the crux of my question; how might Lintian check this
statically? From the list of filenames in the binary package? Is there
some binary package field I am missing...?

Using the .buildinfo in Lintian is a little problematic as most
processes, tools and scripts pass the .changes, so if we could weaken
this to source packages that Build-Depend on python-all-dev then that
would actually catch a lot more instances.
Best wishes,
