Package: debhelper Version: 8.9.0 Severity: wishlist dh has historically included dh_pysupport in the default install sequence. That was a great choice at the time, but its maintainers have now deprecated dh_pysupport in favor of dh_python2. As such, builds of packages that don't request other helpers (for instance, because they don't involve any Python code at all!) wind up generating the warning
dh_pysupport: This program is deprecated, you should use dh_python2 instead. Migration guide: http://deb.li/dhs2p Changing the default for compat levels 7 and 8 is obviously out of the question, but compat level 9 is not yet officially set in stone (though some packages have started using it anyway, particularly for multiarch support). Could you please consider having it default to dh_python2 and use dh_pysupport only when explicitly invoked --with=python_support? (For that matter, you might also consider adding dh_python3 to the default sequence per #596807 and #597105.)
