Source: python3-defaults
Version: 3.5.3-3
Severity: wishlist

Currently, python3-defaults has a self build dependency on
python3-minimal, as well as build dependencies on lsb-release and
python3-docutils that indirectly bring in python3-defaults packages.
It would be nice if this source package provided a way to bootstrap
itself.  I wonder if it would be possible to Build-Depend directly on
python3.5 which seems to be installable without python3-defaults being
bootstrapped.  As for lsb-release, I use a minimal script with
hard-coded output for "lsb-release -cs" and "lsb-release -is" as a
replacement.  And for python3-docutils, it should hopefully be
possible to drop the generated documentation in the stage1 build.
