Package: dh-python
Version: 6.20250414
Severity: important
Flags: sid forky

For alternate (build-)dependencies like

  'tomli>=2.0;python_version<"3.11"',

dh-python generates dependencies like

  python3-tomli (>= 2.0) | python3 (< 3.11)

forcing the installation of python3-tomli, although that is not needed. With that we keep all dependencies on "deprecated" packages which are not needed anymore.

Please can we revert that order, so that the tomli package isn't installed, or even drop it, if the python3 version is just too old. Of course, "too old" needs some discussion like the versions in the two last Debian releases, or the two last Ubuntu LTS release.
