* Betr.: " Bug#597446: re-reporting bug in build dependencies of tryton-client" (Sun, 19 Sep 2010 13:48:48 +0100):
Hi Luke,
I am stepping in just to give twice input and to cool down the situation. In
fact your contribution is much appreciated, so thank you for reporting.

Back reading I see, that only you make (extensive) use of the f*** word.

Again: it is appreciated a lot, if you are testing software. But if you are
running packages for a different distribution, it is up to you to know and
handle the consequences.

I am trying to explain by citing once more:
- the dependency "python-support" >= 0.9 is required in order
to have ensured we have --install-layout=deb et all working.
- your problem is that dh_pysupport adds something you don't want in
python:Depends. please take it up with the python-support maintainers,
nothing we can do about it here.

For sure. As pointed out, it would be very kind to assign this issue to package
python-support, as it is IMHO not an issue of the Tryton packages.

Given the explanations above, can we agree to close this issue and that you
clear the problem, if any, with the python-support maintainers?
Cheers,
Mathias
