Re: Choosing "proper" Section field (Was: Bug#742639: ITP: python-expyriment -- Python liabrary for cognitive and neuroscientific experiments)

Thanks of the guidance. I guess I fixed all issues. I used dh_python2 thou, since dh_pysupport seems to be deprecated: https://wiki.debian.org/Python/Policy

I noticed that dh_python2 solves the "image-file-in-usr-lib" warning, since it removes images from lib folder and creates symlinks. Convenient!

Best,
Oliver

 So -- with the boost to compat 9 dh_pysupport is not called
 automatically

 Also -- that is the point of calling dh_pysupport and having ${python:Depends}
 to not specify those python and python-pysupport depends manually as it
 is now.

   Sorry, I did get that sentence. Would you suggest to remove
   ${python:Depends} for the dependencies? That solves to lintian error, but
   I though it is a general dependency for even python-library.

no -- the other one -- remove explicit python and python-support from Depends

But you would need to call dh_pysupport explicitly probably like

override_dh_install:
    dh_install
    dh_pysupport

   The other warning from the newest lintian version are fixed. I hope it is
   not too bad, to make a lintian override for the "image-file-in-usr-lib"
   warning.

yeah -- that should be good
