Hi Philippe
I assume that you've already seen the --recommends-section=SECTION and
--suggests-section=SECTION options for dh_python3?
I don't think filling pyproject.toml with hints would be a nice path
forwards - upstreams don't really want to fill their file with
Debian-specific hints like this, and so few would do so that having a
separate mechanism would be needed in any case.
If setting these options via an override in d/rules is not wanted (for
declarative packaging), either a separate file in debian/ or an
environment variable set in d/rules is the normal approach.
An alternative option for this case could be to make substvars for each
section that can be put into the Recommends or Suggests, something like
${python3:optional-dependencies:dev}
${python3:optional-dependencies:foo} etc.
cheers
Stuart
