I hope this question is easy to answer, maybe I'm on the wrong list.
The lintian report for package asymptote-x11 says:
E: asymptote-x11: python3-script-but-no-python3-dep python3 (does not satisfy python3:any | python3-minimal:any) [usr/share/asymptote/GUI/xasy.py]

The debian/control of the source package reads:
Package: asymptote-x11
Architecture: all
Depends: ${misc:Depends},
${python3:Depends},
asymptote (>= ${binary:Version}),
<snip>
and the d/rules uses the dh sequencer: dh $@ --with python3
Looking at the build log I see that dh_python3 is called, nevertheless
dpkg-gencontrol reports:
dpkg-gencontrol: warning: Depends field of package asymptote-x11: substitution
variable ${python3:Depends} used, but is not defined.
The python related BD's of the source package are dh-python & python3.
I replaced the "#!/usr/bin/env python3" shebang in the script by
"#!/usr/bin/python3", but this did not solve the issue.
What am I missing? Many thanks!
From the dh_python3 man-page:
private dirs
/usr/share/foo, /usr/share/games/foo, /usr/lib/foo and
/usr/lib/games/foo private directories are scanned for Python
files by default (where foo is bi‐ nary package name). If your
package ships Python files in some other directory, add another
dh_python3 call in debian/rules with directory name as an
argument - you can use different set of options in this call. If
you need to change options (f.e. a list of supported Python 3
versions) for a private directory that is checked by default,
invoke dh_python3 with --skip-private option and add another call
with a path to this directory and new options.
I've attached a patch.
