dh_python2 and dh_python3 cannot be used for the same files at the same time (that's why dh_python2 igores python3-* packages, that's why dh_python3 ignores python-* packages and that's why you have to use -N/-p in all other packages if you want to invoke both helpers)Wait, what, I cannot have a package that ship both python and python3 *scripts*?you can: Piotr Ożarowski wrote:(+ an option to disable this behaviour in both helpers)If you're going to push this forward, please call the option --without-bugs.I get that you're not in favor of this. What is the problem with the fixing shebangs by default? If you believe what policy says, /usr/bin/env python is something we should only have in Debian packages due to the maintainer deciding it's needed for some reason.
I'm not convinced it's only about getting rid of "/usr/bin/env". Piotr didn't give any rationale for the proposed changed and his algorithm (as I showed a few mails ago) gives odd results even for fairly conventional shebangs.
For what it's worth, I'd OK with Python helpers doing this: s,^#!\s*/usr/bin/env\s+(python[0-9.]*(-dbg)?)\b,#!/usr/bin/\1, -- Jakub Wilk
