I didn't look into the upstream code that you are talking about, so I cannot tell, so I leave the evaluation to you. If the patch seems easy to write AND maintain in the long run, the it is probably the least time consuming task for you, rather than maintaining another package that potentially will also need bugfix and updates. Best would be if you could convince cocotb upstream to accept your patch. It may work if you explain clearly why you need this patch. Hoping this helps, Cheers, Thomas Goirand (zigo)

I've got another issue, that is cocotb requires find_libppython module, which is used to find libpython on the system, so should I package find_libpython, which doesn't seem to be needed on Debian, just for the sake of cocotb ?

For choosing the team, it depends on which expertise you want the team
which holds the package to have. For pure Python software, I would say
that the expertise of the Debian Python Team is more useful.

>From my quick look at cocotb’s documentation [3], it seems to ship at
least one binary in $PATH named `cocotb-config`. Here is how it could be
packaged:
- `cocotb` srcpkg in `electronics` section;
- `python3-cocotb` binpkg in `python` section, containing the library;
- `cocotb` binpkg in `electronics` section, Depends on `python3-cocotb`
and contains the executables.
Same advice would apply for pyuvm, which I did not look at.

Aw: Should cocotb & pyuvm be under Electronics or Python team ?
Hello,
Thank you for your work!
I suggest to direct to electronics about everthing that is tailored for the
electronics and only have non-electronic-specific dependencies with the Python
repository.
Best,
Steffen

Should cocotb & pyuvm be under Electronics or Python team ?
Resending because I forgot to include ITP links.
Hello,
I am currently working on packages for cocotb [1] & pyuvm [2], both
are Python packages, that are used for verification (simulation) of
VHDL/*Verilog models, ie. their scope is electronics. Do I am
wondering whether to package them under Electeonics team or Python
team.
Also, I've set the Section source control field to 'electronics', yet
lintian complained that since the binary package names are
python3-{cocotb/pyuvm}, then the section should be 'python'. Should I
ignore/override that ? Or should I modifybthe Section field to
'python' ?
Thanks
