Package: lintian
Version: 2.65.0
Severity: normal
The package python-pip-whl is a special case of a Python package built
to work with either python or python3. Currently python3-vertualenv
gets the following lintian warning:
W: python3-virtualenv: python-package-depends-on-package-from-other-python-variant Depends: python-pip-whl
While this is a great warning in general, in this case it's wrong.
Would it be OK to special case python-pip-whl and have it not trigger
this check?

Thanks; I believe this is the right call, especially as it puts the
documentation of the exception in the place exactly where the "next"
developer would be looking for it.
Closing this bug accordingly.
