Package: lintian Version: 2.5.30+deb8u3ubuntu2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
Python modules often declare version requirements for dependencies, either in setup.py/cfg or requirements.txt (see most of the OpenStack python packages for examples). A check (probably informational) that validates that the version of a python module in archive falls in the upstream version bounds would be useful, as its often a good indicator of integration issue between python modules, or dependencies on new features. I'd be willing to help test any proposed solution, but my Perl foo is not up to scratch to actually write this myself.
