Package: dh-python Version: 5.20211214 Severity: serious Justification: causes FTBFS in reverse deps
Hi,
With the following in setup.py's install_requires:
"pathlib2;python_version<'3.0'",
dh-python does not skip the line, but tries to find the python3 module
providing path2lib, which of course does not exist, and thus fails the
build:
I: dh_python3 pydist:304: Cannot find package that provides pathlib2.
Please add package that provides it to Build-Depends or add "pathlib2
python3-pathlib2" line to debian/py3dist-overrides or add proper
dependency to Depends by hand and ignore this info.
Traceback (most recent call last):

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'split'

This does not happen on previous versions of dh-python, so I imagine it
could be a regression from:
https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/tools/dh-python/-/commit/832f01c9c7da22a1d00887d8ce0e6be9893bdf3e
Found while rebuilding:
https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/microsoft-authentication-extensions-for-python/-/jobs/2284212
As far as I understand the usage of python_version in this format is
legitimate, and the change causes reverse deps to FTBFS, hence the
severity. Feel free to downgrade if that's not the case.
