Package: dh-python
Version: 2.20151103
Severity: important

For packages that have Python files (it's always plugins as far as I've found,
but I don't know why it has to be limited to that) in private directories that
also have non-python binary files in them it's really ugly to avoid getting
maximum python3 versions when they aren't really needed.  See #811078,
#811076, and #811051 for examples.

For all of these packages they have no python related -dev build-depends.

As part of parsing the build-depends, would it be possible to, if no build-dep
appropriate for building a compiled python extension is present, to disable
binary extension version calculation so packages like the ones in the bugs
listed above would get correct depends without the ugliness currently (AFAICT)
needed.
