That's the historical remains of a previous implementation of something I don't even recall anymore. It's meant to contain the list of python versions the package is built for. If you notice, some package have a `XB-Python-Version` field, and that's the field ${Python3:Versions} is supposed to go into. > I'm assuming that this substvar came from dh_python3 from the dh-python > package, so i'm marking this bug as affecting dh-python. I'm not sure how the "affect" is meaningful or indeed useful here, but whatever :) -- regards, Mattia Rizzolo GPG Key: 66AE 2B4A FCCF 3F52 DA18 4D18 4B04 3FCD B944 4540 .''`.
